Hello,

I am trying to start my stack and all starts just fine except logstash.  
I have set my env variable in the compose file to set the ES bootstrap password.  
I have set the kibana config to use this bootstrap elastic user/pass.

I can not however easily set the logstash bootstrap user? Am I missing something?

The error I receive from logstash std\_out is:

4/16/2018 3:24:03 PM[2018-04-16T15:24:03,865][FATAL][logstash.runner] An unexpected error occurred! {:error=\>#\<ArgumentError: You must set the password using the "xpack.management.elasticsearch.password" in logstash.yml\>, :backtrace=\>["/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/x-pack-6.2.2-java/lib/config\_management/elasticsearch\_source.rb:41:in `initialize'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/x-pack-6.2.2-java/lib/config_management/hooks.rb:52:in`after\_bootstrap\_checks'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/event\_dispatcher.rb:34:in `block in fire'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/event_dispatcher.rb:32:in`fire'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:279:in `execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:67:in`run'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:219:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:132:in`run'", "/usr/share/logstash/lib/bootstrap/environment.rb:67:in `'"]}  
4/16/2018 3:24:03 PM[2018-04-16T15:24:03,871][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (SystemExit) exit

Is there a way to set logstash bootstrap user by way of env variable?

I have tried logging into kibana and looking for users to edit, under management, and none are there..

I have `xpack.security.enabled: false` set in kibana and ES configs.

Your help is appreciated.
