Adding SSL to kibana for alerts

[wingerlion]

I'm trying to add alerts but first I need to activate transport layer security. I have generated my self signed certificated using this bash

#!/bin/bash

# Generate Root Key rootCA.key with 2048
openssl genrsa -passout pass:"$1" -des3 -out rootCA.key 2048

# Generate Root PEM (rootCA.pem) with 1024 days validity.
openssl req -passin pass:"$1" -subj "/C=US/ST=Random/L=Random/O=Global Security/OU=IT Department/CN=Local Certificate"  -x509 -new -nodes -key rootCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out rootCA.pem

# Add root cert as trusted cert
if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "linux-gnu"* ]]; then
        # Linux
        yum -y install ca-certificates
        update-ca-trust force-enable
        cp rootCA.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
        update-ca-trust
        #meeting ES requirement
        sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
elif [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
        # Mac OSX
        security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain rootCA.pem
else
        # Unknown.
        echo "Couldn't find desired Operating System. Exiting Now ......"
        exit 1
fi

# Generate Kib01 Cert
openssl req -subj "/C=US/ST=Random/L=Random/O=Global Security/OU=IT Department/CN=localhost"  -new -sha256 -nodes -out kib01.csr -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout kib01.key
openssl x509 -req -passin pass:"$1" -in kib01.csr -CA rootCA.pem -CAkey rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out kib01.crt -days 500 -sha256 -extfile  <(printf "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,DNS:kib01")

I have added the following SSL variables in Kibana Service:

  - XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY=Vss86whNwQrKjA3D8aKTCRN6SnZLX4rv
  - SERVER_SSL_ENABLED=false
  - SERVER_SSL_KEY=config/certs/kib01.key
  - SERVER_SSL_CERTIFICATE=config/certs/kib01.crt
  - SERVER_SSL_KEYPASSPHRASE=testest123
  - ELASTICSEARCH_SSL_CERTIFICATEAUTHORITIES=config/certs/rootCA.pem

Can you please advise as to how I configure kibana to work with SSL?

By the way thx @shazChaudhry for the repo. It is very useful to me :)

Thanks in advance.

@wingerlion Please accept my apologies. I have never tried SSL with this repo.
