I have installed logstash and elasticsearch as services on manjaro linux , i'am using logstash to get data from a mairadb container and it works just fine , elasticsearch seems to work perfectly as well , but when i try to contact elasticsearch from my app on the apache container i get this message : Elasticsearch request failed: 7 - Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 9200: Connection refused any help would be much appreciated ---

What are elasticsearch logs? Do you expose the 9200 port? ---
