A `cloud_id` property is documented on the elastisearch output plugin, but when trying to set it, I receive an error that the property is invalid. Am I missing something?

Logstash: v7.5.2

cloud\_id was [added](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-7-6-0.html) in 7.6.

Ah weird, I thought I saw it in the 10.2.3 plugin docs. Definitely working in 7.6, thank you!

Is there a good pattern for switching between cloud\_id and hosts for local environments?
