Logstash: false warning for elasticsearch output config when using monitoring

[jpcarey]

In 6.5.4, if you have monitoring setup - it produces a false warning for logstash.outputs.elasticsearch. I'm not sure why this message is triggered at all, and why it is flagged as logstash.outputs.elasticsearch instead of the appropriate monitoring module.

[2019-01-11T11:16:28,685][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] ** WARNING ** Detected UNSAFE options in elasticsearch output configuration!
** WARNING ** You have enabled encryption but DISABLED certificate verification.
** WARNING ** To make sure your data is secure change :ssl_certificate_verification to true 

[2019-01-11T11:16:28,654][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] You are using a deprecated config setting "document_type" set in elasticsearch.

Facing the same issue in 6.6.2. There's no monitoring value for setting validation either which makes you wonder if it's a false warning or a default false value that can't be changed.

I noticed the same issue with a cluster running 6.4.2. I also verified with tcpdump+wireshark that it's a false alarm and all elasticsearch outputs are using tls1.2 as configured.

Facing same problem in 7.0.1. I assume there are incorrect defaults configured for monitoring exporter.

I though it may have been fixed in https://github.com/elastic/logstash/commit/78bc47d1c94146f268ecd5862359cd371203772f
but after installing 7.2 and setting xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.verification_mode: certificate the warning still shows up.
