I'm trying out Elastic Cloud ( trial ) and I couldn't find a category for it, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

I'm trying to enable management for logstash pipelines, but I get an error message that makes me confused:

```
[ERROR] 2018-11-07 09:07:33.105 [main] elasticsearchsource - X-Pack is installed on Logstash but not on Elasticsearch. Please install X-Pack on Elasticsearch to use the monitoring feature. Other features may be available.

[ERROR] 2018-11-07 09:07:33.139 [main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit

```

Elastic Cloud has X-Pack enabled by default and since I have the **Security** part under **Management** in Kibana I'm sure that it's enabled.  
Also, monitoring is enabled on the cluster as well.

My X-Pack settings for management in logstash:

```
 xpack:
     management:
       enabled: true
       elasticsearch:
         url: ${ELASTICSEARCH}
         username: ${LOGSTASH_ADMIN}
         password: ${LOGSTASH_ADMIN_PASSWORD}
       logstash:
         poll_interval: 5s
       pipeline:
         id: ["indexer-0-apps-pipeline", "indexer-0-docker-pipeline"]

```

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how to enable the pipeline management on elastic cloud?

Thank you
