My company has MongoDB and they use SSL certification. As a result, metricbeat is not able to connect. I know there is an SSL option when connecting from Metricbeat to Logstash, but is there one when Metricbeat is attempting to establish a connection to Mongo? I couldn't find it in the documentation.

Hi @lisadeng,

I've been checking and SSL connection to mongo is not supported as of today. You can check our issues tracker and create a feature request for it: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues).

I'm also thinking on a possible workaround. Perhaps you could setup a local mongos instance doing the SSL and use it in localhost (without SSL)?
