Hello everyone,
Do I need to create separate agent policies for Linux and Windows hosts?
The reason is the ca certs are in different location depending on the OS
```auto
ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/elasticsearch/certs/cert.crt"]
ssl.certificate_authorities: ["C:/Program Files/Elastic/Agent/certs/cert.crt"]
```
Currently, the agent doesn't support keystores? so username and password can be specified in this YAML too? or each individual (fileabeat.yaml, metricbeat.yaml, etc)
Thank you for your help

We recommend inlining the cert instead of using paths in this case, For example
```auto
ssl.certificate_authorities:
