I generate the crt and key using openssl,  
logstash configuration:

input {  
beats {  
host =\> "10.8.8.153"  
port =\> "5044"  
ssl =\> true  
ssl\_certificate =\> "/etc/pki/tls/certs/filebeat2logstash.crt"  
ssl\_key =\> "/etc/pki/tls/certs/filebeat2logstash.key"

}  
}

filebeat.yml configuration:  
output:  
logstash:  
hosts: ["10.8.8.153:5044"]  
ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/tls/certs/filebeat2logstash.crt"]

The filebeat could not talk with logstash:  
2017-02-03T13:53:49-05:00 CRIT Exiting: Could not start registrar: Error loading state: Error decoding states: EOF
