I am trying to use AWS ES with very little success. I'm trying a very basic test by using Filebeat to send data to it and so far as I can tell nothing is going over. I have `DEBUG` log level on and I'm getting nothing back of any interest in `/var/log/filebeat/filebeat`.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My ES output block looks like:
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["https://vpc-blah-blah-blah.us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com"]
```
Thanks

If you are using IAM to secure the AWS ES, we don't support that in Beats. If you can switch to [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud), I'd recommend that since that's the managed Elasticsearch service that we regularly test against.
