If you want to send to two different clusters you will need to use two separate output blocks.

Something like this would allow to to manage settings for each output:

```
output {
  if [type] == "output" {
    elasticsearch {
      hosts => ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
      index => "metrics-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    }

    elasticsearch {
      hosts => ["EScloudurl"]
      index => "metrics-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    }
  }
}
```

Use the full https URL in `hosts` and specify `user` and `password` parameters [as described in the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch).
