i am trying to configure ip filtering for my instance on elastic cloud. i want to block all unallowed ip addresses to my elasticsearch and kibana.

i tried to follow this guide: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ip-filtering.html

and edit User setting overrides on my data instance.

the error i get is: 'xpack.security.transport.filter.allow': is not allowed OR: 'xpack.security.transport.filter.enabled': is not allowed

what is the correct way to filter ip on elastic cloud?

Sorry, but this document says that the ip filtering feature is not available yet for the elastic cloud service.

Consider spinning up a instance by yourself in the cloud. There are serveral cloud providers offering a elastic stack deployment and you'll benefit of the security features there.

You can enable IP Filtering using the Elastic Cloud UI under the section "Security" of your deployment. The steps are documented in detail here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-traffic-filtering-ip.html
