Output config:

```
output.elasticsearch:
  # KEYs all expected to be found in ${path.data}/auditbeat.keystore
  hosts: ["${INGEST_URL}"]
  pipeline: auditbeat

  protocol: "${INGEST_PROTOCOL}"
  username: "${INGEST_USER}"
  password: "${INGEST_PWD}"

```

Just weird that 'test output' works fine through HAproxy from various wintel beats.  
Tried from another Lintel client behind HAproxy with metricbeat running:

```
# /usr/share/metricbeat/bin/metricbeat test output -c /etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml
elasticsearch: https://<redacted>:9200...
  parse url... OK
  connection...
    parse host... OK
    dns lookup... OK
    addresses: <redacted>
    dial up... OK
  TLS...
    security... WARN server's certificate chain verification is disabled
    handshake... OK
    TLS version: TLSv1.2
    dial up... OK
  talk to server... OK
  version: 7.6.0
```
