How to use jdbc\_password\_filepath?

It's not clear how it works  
I don't want my password and username exposed in logstash config file and want a single file where these are stored.

So what should jdbc\_user and jdbc\_password contain in logstash.conf file and what values should the text file contains which should be at jdbc\_password\_filepath?

The password file should simply contain the password. Store the username in `jdbc_user` as usual.

Thanks Magnus. I was able to make use of logstash Keystore and it seems to be much better option
