With the introduction of entitlements (elastic#120243) and exclusive file access (elastic#123087) it is no longer safe to watch a whole directory. In a lot of deployments, the parent directory for SSL config files will be the main config directory, which also contains exclusive files such as SAML realm metadata or File realm users. Watching that directory will cause entitlement warnings because it is not permissible for core/ssl-config to read files that are exclusively owned by the security module (or other modules)
