Hello, I have recently upgraded the cluster to use 6.1.3 rather than 5.x and unfortunately curator is no longer working. Unfortunately the only error I receive is:

```
elasticsearch.exceptions.ElasticsearchException: Unable to create client connection to Elasticsearch. Error: ConnectionError(error return without exception set) caused by: SystemError(error return without exception set)

```

Using debug I see:

> SystemError: error return without exception set  
> 2018-02-23 16:59:48,196 DEBUG elasticsearch log\_request\_fail:105 \> None

The config I am using is as follows:

```
---
# Remember, leave a key empty if there is no value. None will be a string,
# not a Python "NoneType"
client:
  hosts:
    - elk-elastic-master-3.x.com
    - elk-elastic-master-1.xcom
    - elk-elastic-master-2.x.com
  port: 9200
  url_prefix:
  use_ssl: True
  certificate: '/etc/elasticsearch/elk-elastic-master-1.x.com/ca-bundle.pem'
  client_cert: '/etc/elasticsearch/elk-elastic-master-1.x.com/elastic-admin.pem'
  client_key: '/etc/elasticsearch/elk-elastic-master-1.x.com/elastic-admin.key.pem'
  ssl_no_validate: False
  http_auth: x:x
  timeout: 30
  master_only: False

logging:
  loglevel: DEBUG
  logfile:
  logformat: default
# blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']
  blacklist: []

```

Has anyone faced similiar issues?

It's worth noting I am using Search Guard, and the user being used is the main admin so it has full access to the cluster. I do not see any logs from elasticsearch when trying to run curator.

I am able to telnet to each host using port 9200, so it's not a firewall issue.

Elastalert is connecting to the nodes using the same certificate,key and client\_cert so I know that's working correctly.

The apt version works fine:

[https://packages.elastic.co/curator/5/debian/pool/main/e/elasticsearch-curator/elasticsearch-curator\_5.4.1\_amd64.deb](https://packages.elastic.co/curator/5/debian/pool/main/e/elasticsearch-curator/elasticsearch-curator_5.4.1_amd64.deb)
