Hi,  
How to configure slack account for Elasticsearch 7.3 under the [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) cloud.  
Based on documentation editing elasticsearch.yml is disabled in versions higher than 7.

In the documentation is specified " You can no longer configure Slack accounts using `elasticsearch.yml` settings. Please use Elasticsearch’s secure [keystore](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/secure-settings.html) method instead."

Secure method instead is saying to use commands which looks like console ones like this  
bin/kibana-keystore create  
Where to run these commands for cloud version of ELK?  
Or may be there is another way to add slack account to ELK cloud?

I would recommend you reach out to Elastic Cloud support about this as they are in a better position to help.

If anyone faces the same difficulty.  
You need to add key store in your deployment at [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co)  
Deployments \> Your Deployment \> Security

Elasticsearch keystore \> Create settings  
Settings name: xpack.notification.slack.account.monitoring.secure\_url  
Secret: your webhook from slack channel
