Hi

I´m trying to run a cloud logstash pipeline that has the next code to start working with the mail filters but I have not been able to find code to try it inside the pipeline or how to run it outside of the pipeline

On the image the location or place where I´m putting the code.

Any ideas?

```auto
#email_log.conf
input {
imap {
 host => "imap.gmail.com"
 password => "XXXXX"
 user => "alejandrotrading1@gmail.com"
# check_interval => 10
# folder => "Inbox"
 }
}

output {
 elasticsearch {
 index => "emails"
 document_type => "email"}
}

```

Hello @Holguinmora

You can create a Logstash pipeline using the Logstash Centralized Management, but you then need a Logstash instance running somewhere (your computer, a server or a cloud provider) which reads the configuration from your Elastic Cloud instance.

# How to configure Logstash to use Central Management?

You can follow the steps detailed in [our documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/configuring-centralized-pipelines.html#configuration-management-settings).

Some comments:

- The `elasticsearch` output must define the target hosts and credentials. See [more here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html).

```auto
elasticsearch {
  cloud_id => ...
  cloud_auth => "user:pass"
  index => "emails"
  document_type => "email"
}

```

- The Logstash instance must have the following settings:

```auto
xpack.management.enabled: true
xpack.management.elasticsearch.cloud_id: ...
xpack.management.elasticsearch.cloud_auth: "user:pass"
xpack.management.logstash.poll_interval: 5s
xpack.management.pipeline.id: ["correo1", ...]

```
