[Elastic noob warning!] Fundamentally, I'm trying to figure out how to automatically update temporary credentials for the Elastic AWS integration. I'm trying to configure my AWS Elastic Agent integration to use a shared credential file. I was hoping to use the `credentials_process` setting but it doesn't appear to be working. I'm wondering now if the the only things I can usefully put in that file (for the purposes of the Elastic AWS integration) is ```auto access_key_id = ... secret_access_key = ... session_token = ... ``` Are any of the other [AWS config settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/settings-reference.html#ConfigFileSettings) useful in this context? Do people have other suggestions for dealing with the problem of updating temporary credentials? thanks, Marco ---
