I am facing issue could not push logs to Elasticsearch cluster but when i change the buffer path and restart elastic it gets solved and every odd day I have to do this, looking for some permanent solution over this.

:ElasticsearchOutput::RecoverableRequestFailure error="could not push logs to Elasticsearch cluster ({:host=\>"172.xx.xx.xxx", :port=\>9200, :scheme=\>"http"}): Connection refused - connect(2) for 172.23.12.140:9200 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)"

Hi @Vikas1633,

That looks like a connection refused to Elasticsearch. What is the health of your cluster? Can you check using the [cluster health API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-health.html).
