Hello, I am attempting to allow a logstash server in one AWS account access to Amazon hosted Elasticsearch in another. I have roles set up in each account, and trusts enabled, however I do not see how I can force logstash to assume the correct role. Any suggestions?

May be ask AWS forums or in #logstash?

BTW did you look at [https://www.elastic.co/cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) and [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK) ?

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL and what is coming like Canvas...
