I am using AWS elasticsearch service , which return me a URL for Elasticsearch.  
Example : https:// [www.es-aws.com](http://www.es-aws.com) // ES Url  
When I try to use the URL in logstash, it tries to connect https:// [www.es-aws.com:9200](http://www.es-aws.com:9200) instead of https:// [www.es-aws.com](http://www.es-aws.com).

Can anyone suggest how to get rid of the port and directly listen to the URL without port number.

Logstash be default appends the default Elasticsearch port, which is 9200. If you instead want to use port 443, which is the default for HTTPS, you will need to specify it explicitly.

@Christian_Dahlqvist Thanks for youre help. I found the solutions actually we should use [https://github.com/awslabs/logstash-output-amazon\_es](https://github.com/awslabs/logstash-output-amazon_es) plugin when we are dealing with Elasticsearch AWS service.
