Description

Describe the feature request

The role only exposes logstash_http_host/logstash_http_port (both unset by
default) and cannot secure the Logstash HTTP API. Add variables to configure the
API's bind host/port and TLS (api.ssl.enabled + api.ssl.keystore.path/
password). This allows a secured and/or remotely reachable API — a prerequisite
for remote monitoring and health checks.

Research direction

Search the role for logstash_http_host and logstash_http_port, then trace where those variables configure the Logstash HTTP API. Add configurable bind host and port plus the specified api.ssl settings, and verify that secured and remotely reachable API configurations render correctly.
