Spring Micrometer: Shipping Metrics to an AWS ElasticSearch Instance

Question

I'd like to ship Micrometer's default actuator metrics (JVM memory and the like) to an AWS ElasticSearch instance and visualize the data in Kibana.

I think I'm setting it up correctly but I'm getting no data in Kibana.

Here's my configuration:

compile 'io.micrometer:micrometer-registry-elastic:latest.release' management.metrics.export.elastic.host=https://${url}.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com

URL is hard-coded in the application, I just removed it here. The URL I'm using is from my AWS Dashboard for the ES domain, where it lists:

Endpoint: https://${url}.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com

But using this configuration I haven't been able to get any data to show up in Kibana.

Other considerations: I know Micrometer has access to this data because I have a Prometheus endpoint set up where I can see the actuator info. It's just a question of how it's supposed to be sent to elastic.

Updating Spring-boot to 2.0.1 version can resolve it.
