Document SSL/TLS key and certificate formats accepted by plugins

Open edmocosta opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Plugins are not being specific about the accepted SSL key/certificate format. The manticore-based plugins, for example, are not documenting that the SSL keys should be in the PCK8 format, otherwise it won't work.

A few examples where the documentation is not clear about that:

  • https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-ssl_key
  • https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-elasticsearch.html#plugins-filters-elasticsearch-ssl_key
  • https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/configuring-centralized-pipelines.html (xpack.management.elasticsearch.ssl.key)

The goal of issue is to review all plugins, and ensure that the ones supporting SSL/TLS configurations, have the key and certificate format specified on the docs.
