Hi is it possible to send hearbeats to BOTH cloud and on-premise logstash/elasticsearch from one hearbeat application ?
Currently running 2 hearbeat applications, one is sending heartbeat to cloud and another is sending heartbeat to logstash on-premise.
This works fine, although less than ideal.

No, it is not possible, the beats can have only one output.
What you can do is send the data to a Kafka cluster and configure both your cloud and on-premises logstash to consume from that Kafka cluster, this way you would have only one heartbeat, but would need another tool and make both your cloud and on-premises talk to that Kafka Cluster.
You can also send only to the on-premises logstash and configure this logstash to ship to the cloud.
