Hi, How can proxy url be set so heartbeat can resolve cloud.id ? Heartbeat is currently sitting behind corporate proxy, and unable to connect to elasticsearch cloud. ``` 2020-10-11T02:14:06.182+0800 INFO pipeline/output.go:93 Attempting to reconnect to backoff(elasticsearch(https://xxx.elastic-cloud.com:443)) with 5 reconnect attempt(s) 2020-10-11T02:14:06.182+0800 INFO [publisher] pipeline/retry.go:166 retryer: send wait signal to consumer 2020-10-11T02:14:06.182+0800 INFO [publisher] pipeline/retry.go:168 done 2020-10-11T02:14:18.187+0800 WARN transport/tcp.go:53 DNS lookup failure "xxx.elastic-cloud.com": lookup xxx.elastic-cloud.com: no such host ``` ---

Setting environment variable HTTPS\_PROXY works for me! ---
