Hello,

I want to set up an opensearch environment which reads data from logstash which gets it data through elastic beats. I’ve found that the route I want to take should be compatible (with some settings): [Agents and ingestion tools - OpenSearch documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/clients/agents-and-ingestion-tools/index/)

I’ve set up an opensearch 1.3 domain through AWS with compatibility mode. The API of opensearch is returning the correct version, 7.10.2. So this should be set up correctly.

On a server which I want to run metricbeat on, I’ve installed the 7.12.1 version successfully. It seems to connect to the opensearch domain without issues, but when running the setup it’s returning this error: `Exiting: error connecting to Kibana: fail to get the Kibana version: fail to parse kibana version (): Passed version is not semver`.

From what I’m seeing in the dashboard, it should be V 1.3.2, which should be a semver. I think I’m doing something wrong, or have a setting misconfigured. I’m not using logstash with the beats yet, I’m only trying to install the dashboard to opensearch.

My metricbeat.yml looks like this:

```auto
setup.ilm.enabled: false
setup.template.enabled: false

metricbeat.config.modules:
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
  reload.enabled: false

setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1
  index.codec: best_compression

setup.kibana:
  host: "https://secret.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com:443/_dashboards"
  username: "secret"
  password: "secret"

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["secret.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com:443"]
  protocol: "https"
  username: "secret"
  password: "secret"

processors:
  - add_host_metadata: ~
  - add_cloud_metadata: ~
  - add_docker_metadata: ~
  - add_kubernetes_metadata: ~

```

I can’t find anything online with people experiencing the same as I am. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is the setup I’m going for just not going to work.

I believe this is not related to reporting? But I see it was tagged as reporting
