nginx and https: nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream

First of all excuse me if this problem is simple.

I have a server with Ubuntu and nginx on it. Always works while http used, but after I added certificates and tried to enable https I received this error nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream "api".
Here is my config:

upstream api {
    least_conn;
    server 176.9.91.243:7123;
}

upstream api2 {
    least_conn;        
    server 176.9.32.170:7123;       
}

server {
#   listen 80;
    listen 443;

    ssl on;

    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/chain.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/ssl_key.key;

    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";
    add_header Content-Security-Policy "block-all-mixed-content";

            keepalive_timeout 120s;

        }


    location /api {
    limit_conn addr 3000;
      rewrite /api(.*) /$1  break;
      proxy_read_timeout 60s;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

      proxy_redirect off;
      #access_log /var/log/nginx/api-access.log upstreamlog;
    }

}

The problem only happens with api upstream while api2 works fine. If I use the IP directly in proxy_pass it works as well. What have I missed? Thank you.

I'm pretty sure you're missing the resolver directive: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#resolver
