When using the config from here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-ingest-node.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-ingest-node.html)

```
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  pipeline: "test-pipeline"

```

the ingress wasn't used but changing it to:

```
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  parameters:
    pipeline: "test-pipeline"

```

as mentioned here [Pipeline Not Working Filebeats -\> Elasticsearch (5.0.0 Alpha 3)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/pipeline-not-working-filebeats-elasticsearch-5-0-0-alpha-3/54197/2)

and it wokred

I'm using version 7.9.2

does the documentation need updating or am I doing something wrong?

hi @sillencem, the initial configuration should have worked:

```auto
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  pipeline: "test-pipeline" 

```

Are you running both Filebeat and the es cluster on 7.9.2? Can you provide us with the full config file in order to get a better view?
