I enabled the elasticsearch 5.0.1 SSL with following this doc:

xpack.ssl.key: /home/es/config/x-pack/node01.key  
xpack.ssl.certificate: /home/es/config/x-pack/node01.crt  
xpack.ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/home/es/config/x-pack/ca.crt"]

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html)

but to enable logstash ssl ( [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html)) , I do not know where is the cert.pem? The above doc only has ca.crt and ca.key. This doc is very bad right now, not clear. Please help ?

output {  
elasticsearch {  
...  
ssl =\> true  
cacert =\> '/path/to/cert.pem'  
}  
}
