Hi, I'm using Elasticsearch Services on Azure and I'm trying to configure logstash to point to my elasticsearch instance in the cloud. I was reading the documentation given here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.4/connecting-to-cloud.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.4/connecting-to-cloud.html)  
I added my cloud.id & cloud.auth to my logstash.yml, so do I not need to update my configuration file, i.e. beats.conf? If I do need to update it, how would I specify in "hosts=\>" section my cloud.auth and cloud.id? Thank you!
