Hey all
We are trying to ship JMX data/metrics to our logstash. The problem is, our JMX uses authentication which is necessary to secure our applications. I would like to know, does jmx-input plugin supports authentication ? or in other terms how can we use authentication in the logstash configuration file ?
Thanks 🙂

The JMX input [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jmx.html#_the_configuration) shows an example of supplying a username and password in json file used to configure the filter.
