Hi All,

I'm currently experimenting with the Elastic Hosted Server, and our system spits out custom formatted JSON posts that the plan is to ingest directly into Elastic Search, bypassing the Logstack pipeline.

My issue is I need to find the authentication/hosting credentials to point the posts requests, and I can't find them anywhere on the interface. I'm sure they're buried somewhere in a setting configuration.

If the hosted server uses another Authentication method outside the standard ones supported by JSON, information on that would be great as well.

Thanks

You need to use HTTPS and [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-security.html) should get your sorted.
