Hi all,

We're looking to configure ingest node processing on a deployment hosted in the elastic cloud, and had a question on how to configure the ingest pipeline, ie since this is a [e.co](http://e.co) cloud deployment our config for auth in filebeat.yml is:

_cloud.id: "blabla"_  
_cloud.auth: "blabla"_

The guidance for configuring an ingest pipeline on a beats machine with a non-cloud deployment is:

_output.elasticsearch:_

- hosts: ["localhost:9200"]\*
- pipeline: "test-pipeline"\*

Since we have a cloud deployment, what would we put to configure the pipeline in filebeat.yml? just omit the 'hosts' line from the above or something else?

Setting `output.elasticsearch.pipeline` is enough. `cloud.id` and `cloud.auth` is used to work out which host to send the request, so there is no need to set `hosts`.
