Hello
Version of filebeat : 6.3.0
I don't understand why ssl.verification\_mode is ignored.
In filebeat.yml, i am trying to configure ssl for ElasticSearchOutput.
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-ssl.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-ssl.html)
I am want to disable ssl verification to allow all connection.
I put "ssl.verification\_mode: none" in filebeat.yml but in Filebeat log i still have error about certificate.
I try many things without success.
filebeat.yml
```
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["https://myurl:443/elastic"]
ssl.verification_mode: none
proxy_url: http://myproxy:8080
index: "filebeat-%{[fields.type]:other}-%{[beat.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
```
Filebeat Log
```

Thanks in advance

Could you please format your configuration ``? It is possible that there is a whitespace error in your file. Thus, Filebeat does not pick up the configuration correctly.

@kvch thanks sorry it was my first post.
Locally fine but it doesn't work with proxy and ssl configuration.
Does the 'ssl.verification\_mode : none' parameter work for you ?
Does it works only in x-pack feature?

Hi @kacedn!
Please be patient in waiting for responses to your question and refrain from
pinging multiple times asking for a response or opening multiple topics for
the same question. This is a community forum, it may take time for someone to
reply to your question. For more information please refer to the [Community
Code of Conduct](https://www.elastic.co/community/codeofconduct) specifically
the section "Be patient".
If you are in need of a service with an SLA that covers response times for
questions then you may want to consider talking to us about a
[subscription](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).
Since you are using a non https proxy `proxy_url: http://myproxy:8080`, and the filebeat will talk to the proxy over plain http, I don't think you need to set `ssl.verification_mode: none`. There is no TLS connection for which to _not_ do verification.
