I have set up Elasticsearch, Kibana and X-pack according to installation guidelines and made sure that it worked as expected. Now I want to send a Kibana report using Watchers in X-Pack. I have followed this tutorial to setup secure reporting, but after adding the watcher truststore to elasticsarch.yml I get this error message when I try to start elastic:

I'm running cmd as administrator and the truststore file have the permissions needed for elastic to read it. I do not understand why this error is happening, can anyone please help me?
This is the options added to my elasticsearch.yml file:
xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.path: C:\tmp\watcher-truststore.jks
xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.password: <truststorepw>
And my kibana.yml file:
server.ssl.key: C:\tmp\kibana.local.key
server.ssl.cert: C:\tmp\kibana.local.crt
xpack.security.encryptionKey: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
If I remove the truststore settings from elasticsearch.yml, I can start both elastic and kibana and kibana is running on https.
I posted this question to Elsticsearch forum as well and got the answer to my problem there:
Elasticsearch runs under a security manager with a restricted set of directories that can be read. The key files and certificates should be stored in the config directory and could be placed in a sub directory there if desired
