# aptible log_drain:create:elasticsearch

This command lets you create a [Log Drain](/core-concepts/observability/logs/log-drains/overview) to forward your container logs to an [Elasticsearch Database](/core-concepts/managed-databases/supported-databases/elasticsearch) hosted on Aptible.

> 📘 You must choose a destination Elasticsearch Database that is within the same Environment as the Log Drain you are creating.
