# Note that the settings should point to your Elasticsearch _monitoring_ cluster.

Hey there, just checking - are you using Enterprise Search or just sending logs to a Elasticsearch only cluster?

Welcome to our community @Nishi_Shah ! 😃
A few things;
- Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them
- Please format your code/logs/config using the `` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you
