In the following example, two custom host settings
are defined. The first provides a custom host setting for mail server
`mail.example.com` using port 465 that supplies server certificate authorization
`mail.example.com` using port 465 that supplies server certificate authentication
data from both a file and inline, and requires TLS for the
connection. The second provides a custom host setting for https server
`webhook.example.com` which turns off server certificate authorization.
`webhook.example.com` which turns off server certificate authentication,
that will allow Kibana to connect to the server if it's using a self-signed
certificate. The individual properties that can be used in the settings are
documented below.
