. From the *Destination settings* panel, specify the following settings:

* *Elastic endpoint URL*: Enter the {es} endpoint here. To find the {es} endpoint, go to the https://cloud.elastic.co/[Elastic Cloud] console, select your deployment and use *Copy endpoint* next to *Elasticsearch*. URL will have the format of: `https://<cluster-id>.es.<region>.<csp>.elastic-cloud.com`.

+
* *API key*: Enter the encoded Elastic API key. This can be created in Kibana by following the instructions under API Keys. If you are using an API key with Restricted privileges, be sure to review the Indices privileges to provide at least "auto_configure" & "write" permissions for the indices you will be using with this delivery stream.

* *Content encoding*: For a better network efficiency, leave content encoding set to GZIP.

* *Retry duration*: Determines how long Firehose continues retrying the request in the event of an error. A duration between 60 seconds to 300 seconds should be suitable for most use cases.

* *Parameters*:
+
** `es_datastream_name`: This parameter is optional and can be used to set which data stream documents will be stored. When unspecified, logs will be stored in `logs-awsfirehose-default` data stream and metrics will be stored in `metrics-aws.cloudwatch-default` data stream.
** `include_cw_extracted_fields`: This parameter is optional and can be set when using a CloudWatch logs subscription filter as the Firehose data source. When set to true, extracted fields generated by the filter pattern in the subscription filter will be collected. Setting this parameter can add many fields into each record and may significantly increase data volume in Elasticsearch. As such, use of this parameter should be carefully considered and used only when the extracted fields are required for specific filtering and/or aggregation.
** `set_es_document_id`: This parameter is optional and can be set to allow Elasticsearch to assign each document a random ID or use a calculated unique ID for each document. Default is true. When set to false, a random ID will be used for each document which will help indexing performance.
+
* *Backup settings*: It is recommended to configure S3 backup for failed records. These backups can then be used to restore failed data ingestion caused by unforeseen service outages.
