Hey guys,

I'm currently encrypting the communication between elasticsearch, logstash and kibana (and soon filebeat...) Whenever I start Logstash with the xpack.monitoring-feature enabled I get the following warning:

```
logstash | [WARN] 2019-07-25 15:09:12.218 [[.monitoring-logstash]-pipeline-manager] elasticsearch - **WARNING** Detected UNSAFE options in elasticsearch output configuration!
logstash | **WARNING** You have enabled encryption but DISABLED certificate verification.
logstash | **WARNING** To make sure your data is secure change :ssl_certificate_verification to true

```

How do I enable this option for the monitoring pipeline? I already set the mentioned option to true for my actual pipeline and the warning disappears as soon as I disable the monitoring feature.

The Elastic-Stack is running on version 7.2.0 in docker containers. All instances (elastic, logstash and kibana) are running on the same host.

Thanks in advance!
