Any idea why an elasticsearch-exporter pod's logs report an error connecting to the coordinating pod, but if I exec into the pod and curl the same address, it works?

Exporter version: 1.1.0-debian-10-r303  
Error from log:  
level=warn ts=2020-12-18T17:29:04.443053623Z caller=nodes.go:1851 msg="failed to fetch and decode node stats" err="failed to get cluster health from [http://elasticsearch-sandbox-coordinating-only:9200/\_nodes/stats:](http://elasticsearch-sandbox-coordinating-only:9200/_nodes/stats:) Get [http://elasticsearch-sandbox-coordinating-only:9200/\_nodes/stats:](http://elasticsearch-sandbox-coordinating-only:9200/_nodes/stats:) net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)"

Welcome to our community! 😃

Can you clarify what `elasticsearch-exporter` is?

Sorry for the delay. The holidays have been a bit crazy.

Looks like a third-party tool, which I missed, but it's for collecting metrics for Prometheus:
