    basic_auth=(config['ELASTIC']['user'], config['ELASTIC']['password'])
)
es.info()

returns

elasticsearch.AuthenticationException: AuthenticationException(401, 'security_exception', 'unable to authenticate user [elastic] for REST request [/]')

I've used "elastic", I've used my user_id, and I've used my email. I cannot think of something else. I copied and pasted the password from the login and I KNOW its correct.

Any idea how to fix this?
