I've enabled a Metricbeat to use CM, before I had configurations to deal with SSL in the YAML of the Beat. Now that its managed where do I define these settings? I attempted to define then in the metricbeat.yml file, but I think my formatting was off.

This is what i attempted.
```
management:
enabled: true
period: 1m0s
events_reporter:
period: 30s
max_batch_size: 1000
access_token: ${management.accesstoken}
kibana:
protocol: https
host: kibana.company.com
ssl: null
timeout: 10s
ignoreversion: true
blacklist:
output: console|file
metricbeat.modules
-module: elasticsearch
ssl.verification_mode: "none"
```

Figured it out. it needs to be defined like this (leaving here in case someone else has the same issue). Doing this means you don't need to define the metricbeat module for elasticsearch in CM
```
management:
enabled: true
period: 1m0s
events_reporter:
period: 30s
max_batch_size: 1000
access_token: ${management.accesstoken}
kibana:
protocol: https
host: kibana.company.com
ssl: null
timeout: 10s
ignoreversion: true
blacklist:
output: console|file
metricbeat.modules:
- module: elasticsearch
period: 10s
metricsets: ["node_stats"]
hosts: ["https://localhost:9200"]
username: "user"
password: "password"
ssl.verification_mode: "none"
```
