	For available output settings, refer to Configure outputs for standalone Elastic Agents.
	For settings specific to the Elasticsearch output, refer to Configure the Elasticsearch output.
	The URL of the Elasticsearch cluster where output should be sent, including the port number. For example `https://12345ab6789cd12345ab6789cd.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io:443`.
	For available download settings, refer to Configure download settings for standalone Elastic Agent upgrades.
	For available monitoring settings, refer to Configure monitoring for standalone Elastic Agents.
	For available input settings, refer to Configure inputs for standalone Elastic Agents.
	A user-defined ID to uniquely identify the input stream.
	For available input types, refer to Elastic Agent inputs.
	Learn about Data streams for time series data.
	Specify a unique ID for each individual input stream. Naming the ID by appending the associated `data_stream` dataset (for example `{user-defined-unique-id}-nginx.access` or `{user-defined-unique-id}-nginx.error`) is a recommended practice, but any unique ID will work.
	Refer to Logs reference in the Nginx HTTP integration documentation for the logs available to ingest and exported fields.
	Path to the log files to be monitored.
