This is my first time on elasticsearch.

I have to get metrics from prometheus hosts with ssl.

I'll describe my develop environment in advance.

I'm using metricbeat 8.8.2 on A Server.

But I want to scrap Prometheus federate metrics on B Server.

Unfortunately, I have to get my prometheus federate metrics from not localhost ,but remote server.

Prometheus service provided below url :  
`ex)"https://prometheus-k8s-federate.aaa.com"`

But when I tested that URL using curl, I didn't work.

`ex) "https://prometheus-k8s-federate.aaa.com/federate"`

Above URL did working with JWT Token using POSTMAN APP.

How to configure metricbeat configure file for prometheus ssl host?

  metric_path : "/federate" 
  ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/aaa/my-aaa.pem"]
  username: "my-username"
  password: "mypassword"

```
