Hi,
Is there a specific guide to install two heartbeat services inside the same host machine. These heartbeat instances are pointed to two different elastic cloud stacks.

Welcome to our community! 😃
Not officially, as it can get complex managing multiple sets of configs etc. Config management systems like Ansible/Puppet should be able to manage this for you.
You can also point the one instance at both hosts, with multiple `output.elasticsearch` sections in the one config.

Hello @warkolm,
Thanks for the response 😇
Can we point to two elastic clouds with `output.elasticsearch`?
