How to send data to Elastic Cloud with On-Premise Logstash

I am using Elastic Cloud. I want to move data from Linux on VMware to Elastic Cloud. What settings do you need?

What sort of data?

Custom log in json format.

If it's in a file then use the file input and the Elasticsearch output.

Otherwise you can also try filebeat.

I tried it on premises and parsed it by creating a json on one line and successfully moved it as desired via the curl command, but Elastic Cloud doesn't know how to write the host part when typing curl. So I tried in Logstash but I wrote username and password and logstash.yml in Cloud-id and it didn't work.

The configuration settings are:

input {
	file {
	  path => "/path/path/*.json"
	  start_position => "beginning"
	  sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
filter {
	json {
	     source => "message"
}
}
output {
	elasticsearch{
		index =>"indexname"
		hosts =>["host.ap.-southeast-1.aws.found.io:9243/"]
		user => "username"
		password => "password"
}
}

I also entered cloud.id and cloud.auth in logstash.yml.

If it didn't work, providing the logs of Logstash would help.

Can I upload it as an image?

Please don't, it's very hard to read that.

It takes some time, please wait

Sorry I'm late.

Try adding https:// to the front of your hosts value and see if that helps.

Thank you, but it worked, but it never arrived in the cloud.
