how to use ingest attachment processor in elastic cloud  
Elastic search is not in local i am using free trial cloud

when i run this in dev tools

```auto
PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
  "description" : "Extract attachment information",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "attachment": {
        "name" : "body",
        "indexed_chars" : -1
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

it gives this error

```auto
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "parse_exception",
        "reason" : "No processor type exists with name [attachment]",
        "processor_type" : "attachment"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "parse_exception",
    "reason" : "No processor type exists with name [attachment]",

You did not install the attachment plugin. You need to edit your Cloud deployment settings to add it
