Elasticsearch data streams accept only the "create" bulk action, so an Elastic output aimed at one had every record rejected until now. Documents the new toggle and shows the data stream configuration.
Switching the bulk action is necessary but not sufficient: Elastic also rejects any document indexed into a data stream that has no @timestamp field, and LimaCharlie records carry their time in routing.event_time instead. Documents both ways to supply it so the toggle does not simply trade one silent rejection for another.

What
Documents the new
is_create_actionparameter on the Elastic output destination, plus a short "Sending to a data stream" section with an example.Why
Elasticsearch data streams support only the
createaction in a_bulkrequest. The output defaults toindex, so pointing it at a data stream without the toggle rejects every record — worth stating explicitly rather than leaving users to infer it from a bulk error.Testing
