The endpoint and region options have been dropped in the elasticsearch sink in favor of using the host option.

Upgrade Guide

 [sinks.es]
   type = "elasticsearch"
-  endpoint = "http://my-domain.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com"
-  region = "us-east-1"
+  host = "http://my-domain.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com"

You can find your AWS ES domain in the AWS console. Simply provide the full domain URL as the host value.
