call the `GET /` API against that cluster.
<2> This setting identifies the hosts and port numbers of {es} nodes
that are part of the monitoring cluster.
+
If you want to use PKI authentication to send monitoring events to
{es}, you must specify a different set of configuration options. For
example:
+
[source,yaml]
--------------------
monitoring:
enabled: true
cluster_uuid: PRODUCTION_ES_CLUSTER_UUID
elasticsearch:
hosts: ["https://example.com:9200", "https://example2.com:9200"]
username: ""
ssl:
ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]
ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
--------------------
+
You must specify the `username` as `""` explicitly so that
the username from the client certificate (`CN`) is used. See
<<configuration-ssl>> for more information about SSL settings.
