+  * Value type is <<string,string>>
+  * Allowed values are: `'TLSv1.1'`, `'TLSv1.2'`, `'TLSv1.3'`
+  * Default depends on the JDK being used. With up-to-date Logstash, the default is `['TLSv1.2', 'TLSv1.3']`.

+List of allowed SSL/TLS versions to use when establishing a connection to the HTTP endpoint.
+
+For Java 8 `'TLSv1.3'` is supported  only since **8u262** (AdoptOpenJDK), but requires that you set the
+`LS_JAVA_OPTS="-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.3"` system property in Logstash.
+
+NOTE: If you configure the plugin to use `'TLSv1.1'` on any recent JVM, such as the one packaged with Logstash,
+the protocol is disabled by default and needs to be enabled manually by changing `jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms` in
+the *$JDK_HOME/conf/security/java.security* configuration file. That is, `TLSv1.1` needs to be removed from the list.
