Is there a way to deploy a custom logstash input when using Elastic Cloud? I would like to be able to ingest messages into Elasticsearch from a Solace Event Broker. Options would be via MQTT, JMS or a custom Solace (SMF) logstash plugin.

Elastic Cloud doesn't host Logstash, so you can host it and then install any plugin you want.

thanks @warkolm. I didn't realize that. I'll go that route.

I haven't used Elastic in several years and made an apparently incorrect assumption that in Elastic Cloud when you configure integrations that some of those were actually using a hosted logstash under the covers.
