I have logstash listening for encrypted data. If I set auditbeat output to logstash with ssl, I won't find the data later in elasticsearch. If I set auditbeat output to elasticsearch, I can't get it to encrypt data. This is my output.elasticsearch in my auditbeat.yml : [https://pastebin.com/1dpSBrx7](https://pastebin.com/1dpSBrx7) ( I copied it from my `filebeat.yml` in `output.logstash` which does work) Does anyone know happen to know why it doesn't send encrypted data? Or why if I set auditbeat output to logstash, it won't appear in ES? Huge thanks ahead. ---
