Dear all, I could successfully set azure redis as output of filebeat. But I have some concerns in keeping password plain text in .yml file. Though ssl.enabled is set to true' and the n/w transmission is secured - keeping plain text password in .yml is treated as threat. Any recommendations would be very helpful. In logstash, ssl options itself is not there. I need to consume the data from redis @ logstash ☹ Regarsd Karthik R ---

Hi Karthik, We are actively working on having a safe-store for passwords in Filebeat. As a first step, you can take a look at [this pull request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/5687) that allows storing obfuscated passwords in a local keystore. ---
