Hi all  
I am reserching for the right **input plugin** for my system , what i need in the end of the day is plugin which support

1. scheduled rest client calls
2. support SSL and ssl.verification\_mode: none support !!!
3. changing the json , I wouldnt like the plugin to dictate the json scheme , what i am looking for is somthing which get **my json** from the call

what i have been searching so far :

1. http puller - no https no ssl validation support
2. logstash-mixin-http\_client – **based on the same ruby library as puller see**
3. http - not relevant its for pushing not pulling , i need pulling

Beats (shippers ):

1. heartbeat beats - **no json scheme support , the scheme is fixed (si it true , I didnt find documentation to do it ) ?????**
2. metric(http beats is a part of metricbeat from version 6.0.0-rc1) - http beats is avialable only from 6.0.0-rc1 inside metricbeat library ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.0/metricbeat-module-http.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.0/metricbeat-module-http.html) )

so my questiones are is it possible and if so how to change the scheme to support the json response i am getting from the client .
