So I confirmed I can curl the enpoint successfully but logstash cant access:  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "[https://search-blahbluahbluah.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com/](https://search-blahbluahbluah.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com/)"  
timeout =\> 120  
index =\> "sdffsdfsdfsdfsdf"  
template\_name =\> "sdfsdfsdf"  
template\_overwrite =\> true

But it can't connect:  
`Attempted to resurrect connection to dead ES instance, but got an error. {:url=>"https://search-blahbluahbluah.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com:9200/", :error_type=>LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::HttpClient::Pool::HostUnreachableError, :error=>"Elasticsearch Unreachable: [https://search-blahbluahbluah.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com:9200/][Manticore::ConnectTimeout] connect timed out"}`

I dont know if this is related but when I make a curl request I need to include a trailing slash.

For example this doesn't work:  
`https://search-blahbluahbluah.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com:9200`

But this does work:  
`https://search-blahbluahbluah.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com/:9200`

How do I get logstash to include that trailing slash?

edit: this is working now, but cant see how to delete posts 😕
