In the filebeat configuration, can I put IPv6 address as logstash.output destination? Like this?

```
output.logstash:
    hosts: ["<ipv6-address>:5044"]

```

Thanks!

ES output supports it, so I think LS also supports the following format:

```auto
hosts: ["https://[2001:db8::1]:9200"]

```

You are correct. After I fixed my own mistake, it worked!
