Hi I'm new in the ELK stack , I've configured some things , now I'm trying to monitor the urls with heartbeat , the problem is that one of my urls is configured using self signed ssl certificate , is there any heartbeat configuration to skip the ssl ?

thanks in advance.

For the given monitor, you can add `ssl.verification_mode: none`. It should accept the same [ssl options](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/5.4/configuration-output-ssl.html) that are used elsewhere in Beats.
