I'm having an issue to connect to AWS elasticsearch service from Elastalert, getting following error.  
`elasticsearch.exceptions.AuthorizationException: AuthorizationException(403, u'{"message":"Authorization header requires \'Credential\' parameter. Authorization header requires \'Signature\' parameter. Authorization header requires \'SignedHeaders\' parameter. Authorization header requires existence of either a \'X-Amz-Date\' or a \'Date\' header. Authorization`

I'm doubt, where to set authentication for AWS elasticsearch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

ElastAlert is not a product supported by Elastic as far as i am aware, not sure asking for help here is correct thing to be doing? Nevertheless as i have no affiliations with either here is a link were that is set
