Password of the Encrypted Key for HTTP Output

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Dear Elastic Community,

The version of the Logstash client is 8.5.3.

We're trying to set a Logstash-to-Logstash connection with the following settings in the pipeline of the client:

output {

 http {

   format => json_batch

   http_compression => true

   id => "id_of_the_output"

   url => "https://$logstash_server_url:$logstash_server_port"

   client_cert => "the/path/to/the/certificate"

   client_key => "the/path/to/the/key"

   cacert => "the/path/to/the/certificate/of/the/certificate_authority"

}

}

However, the private key is password-protected. What setting to use for putting the password in the pipeline?

We tried with client_key_password and client_key_passphrase without success.

Please help.

Best regards,
Milos Tepavcevic

If I'm not wrong this is not supported, there is no option to pass the passphrase for the client key.

Have you tried with ssl_keystore_path and ssl_truststore_password?
Why are you using http? Have you tried Logstash output plugin?
