Hello I was using logstash 7.0.1 while running the below config file i was continuously getting retry-able error (400) ```auto input { elasticsearch { hosts => ["https://ful-elastic.com:443/_bulk"] user => "username" password => "password" index => "testing" size => 100 scroll => "1m" } } filter { } output { amazon_es { hosts => ["https://example.com:443"] region => "us-east-1" aws_access_key_id => "accessKeyId" aws_secret_access_key => "password" index => "testing" } } ``` This is error we are getting continuously [2019-08-29T19:55:49,399][ERROR][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Encountered a retryable error.

Does the "testing" index exist in aws? I've seen similar errors when the index didn't exist and it couldn't be automatically created for some reason. ---

Is there a more informative error in the elasticsearch logs? ---
