Using elasticsearch 5.4.0 with python library 5.4.0. The initial connection gets established fine, any add requests later ends up with a connection refused error. Updated elasticsearch to 5.5.0 and I am still seeing the same issue. Kibana(5.5.0) shows an error that it is not compatible with 5.4.0, after updating to elasticsearch 5.5.0 Kibana error message was showing as "Elasticsearch is still initializing the kibana index." Had to clear the data directory and start fresh and everything worked fine. Now I am not able migrate to my old data. How do I fix this. I verified the connection, and I am able to send HTTP requests using CURL and properly getting back responses. curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v) health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size yellow open medicscity 2P\_M0bZHQIWOXVzbbVl8mA 5 1 1 0 6.1kb 6.1kb red open .kibana dlmUMgW4S2-jfUr1n3bRow 1 1 yellow open eldam l0WvZmPcQQaopVbj8UEFvQ 5 1 0 0 955b 955b Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/http\_urllib3.py", line 114, in perform\_request response = self.pool.urlopen(method, url, body, retries=False, headers=self.headers, \*\*kw) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 639, in urlopen \_stacktrace=sys.exc\_info()[2]) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 333, in increment raise six.reraise(type(error), error, \_stacktrace) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.py", line 686, in reraise raise value File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 601, in urlopen chunked=chunked) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 357, in \_make\_request conn.request(method, url, \*\*httplib\_request\_kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1106, in request self.\_send\_request(method, url, body, headers) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1151, in \_send\_request self.endheaders(body) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1102, in endheaders self.\_send\_output(message\_body) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 934, in \_send\_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 877, in send self.connect() File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 166, in connect conn = self.\_new\_conn() File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 150, in \_new\_conn self, "Failed to establish a new connection: %s" % e) urllib3.exceptions.NewConnectionError: \: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused response = self.pool.urlopen(method, url, body, retries=False, headers=self.headers, \*\*kw) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 639, in urlopen \_stacktrace=sys.exc\_info()[2]) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 333, in increment raise six.reraise(type(error), error, \_stacktrace) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/packages/six.py", line 686, in reraise raise value File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 601, in urlopen chunked=chunked) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 389, in \_make\_request self.\_raise\_timeout(err=e, url=url, timeout\_value=read\_timeout) File "/home/ekam/devel/medics\_city/lib/python3.5/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 309, in \_raise\_timeout raise ReadTimeoutError(self, url, "Read timed out.
