packetbeat configuration file adds the port 9200 to the URL. But Amazon Elasticsearch service does not use that port. In fact there is no port but https needs to be used. How do I configure packetbeat.yml file to connect to amazon elasticsearch service?

See this thread: [Anyone tried installing beats with managed AWS ES?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/anyone-tried-installing-beats-with-managed-aws-es/43146/4)

For https the port is 443 so you could set `hosts: ["https://host.example.com:443"]`.
