Hi @adnanrahic,

Scenario

I am using an EC2 instance and running a node application on it using pm2. I want to forward the logs to AWS Elasticsearch.

Problem

I have already read the documentation and found out that it uses a config file to load credentials but in my scenario, I cannot use a config file like this due to some security protocols.

Currently, I assign a role to the AWS EC2 instance and the application on the server uses those role credentials.

Possible Solution

A possible solution could be if we specify some precedence in the configuration like AWS does is doing.

Is there any other channel where I can discuss this issue?

Thank you in advance

Hi @megastef,

I need some help regarding the AWS elasticsearch output plugin implementation. After reading the codebase I found out that you have imported the aws-sdk but didn't use(maybe i am wrong) it.

Will it be able to load credentials from the role attached to EC2 instance?

@otisg I have created a PR for this change. Please get someone to review it. As I am not a JS dev I have tried my best.
