My Logstash is running behind a proxy server with all the logs successfully delivered to Elasticsearch Cloud. Now I'm trying to enable x-pack on logstash and looks like xpack is not following my proxy. Besides that I can't found any doc related to enable proxy on logstash with x-pack.

My es output  
...  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "[https://xxx.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243/](https://xxx.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243/)"  
password =\> "xxxx"  
user =\> "logstash\_internal"  
proxy =\> "[http://proxy.my.url:8080](http://proxy.my.url:8080)"  
}  
}  
...

I tried to set all possible variables to setup the proxy but it didn't worked .

```
set JRUBY_OPTS="-J-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.myhost.local -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"
set http_proxy="http://proxy.myhost.local:8080"
set https_proxy="http://proxy.myhost.local:8080"
set HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.myhost.local:8080"
set HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxy.myhost.local:8080"
set LS_JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.myhost.local -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080" 

Errors

Without proxy and with the same configuration, x-pack and Logstash work
