The nginx docker image I am using sends everything to https which causes metricbeat to print out the following logs in elasticsearch error making http request: Get [https://ui:443/server-status:](https://ui:443/server-status:) x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided. Is there a way to set up ssl config in metricbeat.yml?

The module supports the same `ssl` options that you'll see in the output configuration. So for example:

```auto
metricbeat.modules:
- module: nginx
  metricsets: [stubstatus]
  ssl.certificate_authorities:
  - /etc/tls/my-ca.pem

```
