I am using Elasticsearch6.8.3 docker on an AWS ec2 machine for the production environment. For this purpose, I have installed the Elasticsearch via docker compose. In a microservice architecture many of the other services using different languages like PHP and Python, are just working fine. But When it comes to Node.js client it starts throwing this error :

```auto

```

I have also verified the docker container is up and running at that time, as it was accessible through the web browser. I am not sure about the problem that is it a Node client issue or there is something wrong with docker networking? Also right after restarting the docker container, everything started working
