Hi,

I am trying to connect to metricbeat zookeeper module to zookeeper through ssl connection. Though I am able to connect in non ssl mode I am unable to connect through ssl.

I get the below errors  
`srvr command failed: read failed: read tcp 10.12.2.54:63943->10.11.54.57:2181: i/o timeout `mntr command failed: read failed: read tcp 10.12.2.54:63942-\>10.11.54.57:2181: i/o timeout

zookeeper.yml configuration is

```````````````````auto
`- module: zookeeper
` metricsets:
` - mntr
` - server
` period: 10s
` hosts: ["host.xxx.com:2181"]
` ssl.enabled: true  
` ssl.certificate: "C:\\Elastic\\Certificate\\Zookeeper\\certf3.pem"
` ssl.key: "C:\\Elastic\\Certificate\\Zookeeper\\keyf3.key"
``````````````````
Thanks
```````````````````

Hey!

Looking into the code of this module I see that most probably ssl is not supported [beats/zookeeper.go at 35a7882f69d6daf9ab72f36c6509a00aaa2904d0 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/35a7882f69d6daf9ab72f36c6509a00aaa2904d0/metricbeat/module/zookeeper/zookeeper.go#L38).

Could you please open a GitHub issue (enhancement request) for this so as the team can validate and evaluate the support of ssl?

C.
