Is this something that might be considered for a future release?  
The Elastic cloud doesn't have the APM UI yet so I'm about to run Kibana locally and it occurred that using the cloud.id and cloud.auth settings would make it really easy and in line with other products that connect to ES (eg. APM/Beats)......although the instructions for those are shown from Kibana I guess.

Cheers

Hi,

that sounds like a reasonable enhancement for which you could rise a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new/choose) on GitHub.

Cheers,  
Tim

Thanks Tim,  
I've added that now ([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/22112](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/22112))  
Not sure why I didn't do that in the first place!

Cheers
