Can you explain what you want to do?

The logstash keystore is used on the configurations on `logstash.yml` and the pipeline configurations, not on the `jvm.options` file.

I need to secure truststore password given in jvm.options.  
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=password

I do not think this is supported, so you can't use logstash-keystore to secure `jvm.options`.

The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/keystore.html) only mentions `logstash.yml` and configuration files.

> When Logstash parses the settings ( `logstash.yml` ) or configuration ( `/etc/logstash/conf.d/*.conf` ), it resolves keys from the keystore before resolving environment variables.

Is it possible to secure truststore password in jvm.options in any other way?
