Hi,  
i am trying to install metricbeat on k8s where in its values file i am passing ES details as below.  
and i am getting

> x509: certificate signed by unknown authority  
> and in ES doc i can see this but where i need to put this file.

```auto
output.elasticsearch.ssl.certificate: "/etc/client/cert.pem"
output.elasticsearch.ssl.key: "/etc/client/cert.key"

```

how i can pass CA certificate

```auto
daemonset:
  overrideConfig:
    metricbeat.config.modules:
      path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
      reload.enabled: false
    processors:
      - add_cloud_metadata:
    output.elasticsearch:
      hosts: ['${ELASTICSEARCH_HOST:elasticsearch}:${ELASTICSEARCH_PORT:9201}']
deployment:
  overrideConfig:
    metricbeat.config.modules:
      path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
      reload.enabled: false
    processors:
      - add_cloud_metadata:
    output.elasticsearch:
      hosts: ['${ELASTICSEARCH_HOST:elasticsearch}:${ELASTICSEARCH_PORT:9201}']
