Can you curl the Elasticsearch endpoint from inside the logstash container? or from your host?

From inside container try this (using what you are using will probably fail)

`curl -v http://<elasticsearch>:9200`

Or try this... (probably will work)

`curl -v http://host.docker.internal:9200`

From outside container

`curl -v http://localhost:9200`

Do you know how docker networks ... how to get one container to connect to another

> Hi @mwsprotte Welcome to the community! Docker Networking Issue not Elastic... Another explanation Might be worth reading... if you are new to docker try using host.docker.internal docker run \ --net=elastic docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.17.4 \ setup -E setup.kibana.host=host.docker.internal:5601 \ -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["https://host.docker.internal:9200"]
