Hello team, can we export logs from google cloud GCP (stackdriver) to an elasticsearch on premise? I found the link below, but they assume that elasticsearch is established on elastic cloud, on my case I have a local cluster so there is no cloud. Id and cloud. Auth > **[Scenarios for exporting Cloud Logging: Elasticsearch](https://cloud.google.com/architecture/exporting-stackdriver-logging-elasticsearch)** I don't know if it's possible to ensure this integration with a local elasticsearch , if it's possible so how? thanks in the advance ---

Where is your "Local Elastic Search Cluster" where in GCP, On Prem ... it is just a matter of network connectivity. Filebeat just needs to be able to reach Elasticsearch whether you manage it or it is on Elastic Cloud. Instead of `cloud.id` and `cloud.auth` you will just use the normal Elasticsearch URL, username and password found [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/elasticsearch-output.html) eg. ``` output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["https://myEShost:9200"] username: "filebeat_writer" password: "YOUR_PASSWORD" ``` ---

Hello, I have the same case 😢 I am on the first part and i want to know how to transfer events from gcp stackdriver to a filebeat instance located on the my gcp cloud. Thanks advance ---

hello stephen, thanks for your answer. normally i have the elasticsearch cluster outside the GCP, installed on a physical servers. but i can create a filebeat instance if it's needed. so if i understand i don't need the cloud id and cloud.auth to export logs to my on premise elasticsearch? they can be replaced by the http or https link to elasticsearch ---

The [GCP article referenc](https://cloud.google.com/architecture/exporting-stackdriver-logging-elasticsearch)e in the first post above does a very good job of step by step the only thing you need to do different Just use the full `output.elasticsearch:` as I showed, please look at the reference documentation. You will need to use the gcp input in filebeat see the docs here : > **[GCP Pub/Sub input | Filebeat Reference \[7.12\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-gcp-pubsub.html)** There will need to be network connectivity. ---
