I Installed read-only rest plugin for Elastic search 5.6.1

And I changed elasticsearch.yml file for security and SSL.  
They are working fine but SSL I generated locally.  
When I am using elastic search as output in logstash I am using below method to escape SSL verification.

ssl\_certificate\_verification =\> false

When I am using the same thing in Elastic Search input for logstash it’s not working, Please suggest me what I am missing in below elastic search input for logstash.

input {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> [“[https://127.0.0.1:9200](https://127.0.0.1:9200/)” ]  
ssl =\> true  
ssl\_certificate\_verification =\> false  
index =\> “logstash-index1”  
user =\> “XXXXXXX”  
password =\> “XXXXXXX”  
size =\> 1000  
scroll =\> “5m”  
docinfo =\> true  
}  
}

Thanks in Advance...................
