I've configured my local logstash instance to connect o my cloud.  
I've the following errror :  
[2018-06-11T13:03:11,469][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Attempted to resurrect connection to dead ES instance, but got an error. {:url=\>"[https://logstash:xxxxxx@4b68588ca9aa4107b74f36160ca87e7e.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9200/](https://logstash:xxxxxx@4b68588ca9aa4107b74f36160ca87e7e.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9200/)", :error\_type=\>LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::HttpClient::Pool::HostUnreachableError, :error=\>"Elasticsearch Unreachable: [[https://logstash:xxxxxx@4b68588ca9aa4107b74f36160ca87e7e.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9200/](https://logstash:xxxxxx@4b68588ca9aa4107b74f36160ca87e7e.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9200/)][Manticore::ConnectTimeout] connect timed out"}

why it adds 9200 to the uri ?  
logstash version 6.2.2  
**logstash.yml**

node.name: logstash-vvvv  
path.data: /var/lib/logstash  
cloud.id: id  
cloud.auth: user: password

**logstash.conf output**  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "[https://myid.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io/](https://myid.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io/)"  
user =\> "myuser"  
password =\> "mypass"  
index =\> "myindex"  
}

I believe this should also specify port `9243`:

```auto
hosts => "https://myid.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243/"

```
