Hi there,

I am trying to enable HTTPS for monitoring API. To ency this kind of requests

```auto
curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/pipelines?pretty'

```

Other option, would be to disable this API? which APIS exposes Logstash by default? In the configuration I have disabled monitoring, but still is there:

```auto
xpack.monitoring.enabled: false

```

many thanks

X-pack monitoring and the logstash monitoring API are not the same thing. I do not think you can enable TLS for the logstash monitoring API.

We cannot add any kind of security to the logstash monitoring API? seems dangerous...
