Looking at this: [Ingest pipeline not working for filebeat](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ingest-pipeline-not-working-for-filebeat/228015)  
it seems that because I'm using the aws-cloudwatch module I can't specify another pipeline in `output.elasticsearch`.

In order to apply their solution, though, I'll need to setup my own index with index settings so that it doesn't affect other filebeat-ingested stuff.
