Default Logstash Encryption to Elastic Cloud?

[tyler_hilsabeck]

Will Logstash automatically encrypt traffic to an elastic cloud instance if the cloud endpoint it specified as https? Upon packet inspection it seems that it is but I want to verify.

This is my pipefile config:

output{
  elasticsearch{
      hosts => ["https://XYXYXYXYXYXYXYXY:9243"]
      user => "XXXXX"
      password => "YYYYYYYYY"
      index => "ZYZYZYZYZY"
      ilm_rollover_alias => "ZYZYZYZYZY"
      ilm_pattern => "000001"
      ilm_policy => "XYXYXYXYXY"
  }
}

Thanks!

Yes, if you specify https then it will use TLS.
