Hi All,

I'm wondering if it is possible to disable SSL certificate verification by LS v.5.6.2 completely?  
with the following settings:

```auto
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url: ["https://es-node"]
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.verification_mode: none
xpack.monitoring.collection.interval: 10s
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: "elastic"
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: "changeme"

```

the monitoring cannot start:

```auto
[2017-10-03T20:06:55,430][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Starting pipeline {"id"=>".monitoring-logstash", "pipeline.workers"=>1, "pipeline.batch.size"=>2, "pipeline.batch.delay"=>30000, "pipeline.max_inflight"=>2}

```

and no monitoring stats in ES ☹  
Any hints are much appreciated! Thanks!
