Description

Mirrors issue elastic/apm-server#18937

In https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/apm/apm-server/configure-elasticsearch-output ,

This documentation only applies to APM Server binary users. Fleet-managed users should see Configure the Elasticsearch output.

but this is not accurate. The ES configs listed in APM ES output docs are applicable to both standalone and fleet-managed, but the way to configure them through yaml is specific to standalone. Fleet-managed APM needs to configure the APM ES output configs (not Fleet ES output configs) via fleet UI
