Hello, Is it possible to change the name the user agent "Elastic-Heartbeat/7.x.x" in Heartbeat (http monitor type)? Is such modification relatively easy to implement? I do not see the appropriate option in the configuration files. Thanks for your help! 🙂 ---

You can set a custom `User-Agent` header, see our [headers docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/master/monitor-http-options.html#monitor-http-check). ---
