An update: Logstash with output as elasticsearch works fine with the ca.crt generated as per [this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/no-living-connection-in-kibana-7-1-0-while-using-default-security-provided-in-7-1/182215/14), where as it does not work for logstash input as elasticsearch.

Logstash working conf as output:

> ```
> input {
> stdin {} 
> }
> output {
> stdout {codec => rubydebug}
> elasticsearch {
> hosts => ["https://172.31.28.36:9200"]
> cacert => "/etc/kibana/ca.crt"
> }
> }
> 
> ```

Logstash input conf which does not works:

> ```
> input {
> stdin {} 
> elasticsearch {
> hosts => "https://172.31.28.36:9200"
> index => "twitter1"
> ssl => "true"
> ca_file => "/etc/kibana/ca.crt"
> }
> }
> output {
> stdout {codec => rubydebug}
> elasticsearch {
> hosts => ["https://172.31.28.36:9200"]
> cacert => "/etc/kibana/ca.crt"
> }
> }
> 
> ```

Any thought why same cert does not work for input?
