I am trying to setup GCS (Google Client Storage) for archiving my logs through kibana-logstash

I am facing issue while registering repository  
I am unable to crate a client which is required while creating repository, owing to which I am not able to validate/verify by GCP bucket

You need to create a client before, adding it directly in the elasticsearch nodes.

This is the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/repository-gcs.html#repository-gcs-client).
