Output to Elasticsearch |
Synthetics must have a direct connection to Elasticsearch, whether running monitors from Elastic’s global managed testing infrastructure or from Private Locations. Do not configure any ingest pipelines or output via Logstash as this will prevent Synthetics from working properly and is not supported. |
