I am unsure if this should question should go here, but I'm trying to find where I can whitelist URLs in my Elasticsearch managed service from Elastic?

This is the following error:  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason": "[:5601] not whitelisted in reindex.remote.whitelist"  
}  
],  
"type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason": "[:5601] not whitelisted in reindex.remote.whitelist"  
},  
"status": 400  
}

What are you trying to do?

Start a local cluster and reindex from the cloud instance?

I'm trying to reindex from a local or another cloud service _ **to** _ the elastic cloud service.

So you need to whitelist your local cluster by providing its elasticsearch address.  
Make sure your cluster is secured and not widely open on internet.
