I'm using the configuration store API to change the platform endpoint and having trouble getting the JSON formatting right. This is the JSON example from the docs.  
{  
"value" : "string"  
}

When I use the API to list the config store it looks like this.  
{  
"values": [{  
"changed": false,  
"name": "https\_port",  
"value": "9243"  
}, {  
"changed": true,  
"name": "cname",  
"value": "prod2"  
}]  
}

I've tried a combination of values[1].value with no success.

Assuming you're trying to change the parameter `cname`, does the following work?

`curl -XPOST -k -u admin:PASS 'https://HOST:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/store/cname' -d '{ "value": "NEW_VAL" }'`

([docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/Platform_-_configuration_-_Store.html))

If not how does it fail?

Yeah I wanted to change cname. After messing with it a bit more I got it to work. Thanks.
