I'm trying to use `ElasticSearch` in a `NestJs` project.

`The problem is after setting up everything I getting this error:`

Hi @mohamad_khubayb,

Welcome to the community! Can you explain how you are interacting with Elasticsearch in your Nest application? Are you using the [Elasticsearch JavaScript client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/index.html) or the [Elasticsearch Nest module](https://github.com/nestjs/elasticsearch)? Can you share what versions of Elasticsearch and versions of the client/ module you're using.

@carly.richmond Using Elasticsearch Nest module. Here's the files:

search.service.ts

```auto
@Injectable()
export class SearchService {
  constructor(private readonly elasticsearchService: ElasticsearchService) {}
}

```

search.module.ts

```auto
@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule,
    ElasticsearchModule.registerAsync({
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      useFactory: async (config: ConfigService) =>
        ConfigSearch.searchConfig(config.get('ELASTIC_SEARCH_URL')),
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
  ],
  providers: [ElasticsearchModule, SearchService],
  exports: [ElasticsearchModule],
})
export class SearchModule {}

```

search,config.ts

```auto
export class ConfigSearch {
  public static searchConfig(url: string): any {
    return {
      node: url,
      maxRetries: 5,
      requestTimeout: 60000,
      sniffOnStart: true,
    };
  }
}

```

Hi @mohamad_khubayb,

Thanks for confirming. I did find a [similar issue](https://github.com/nestjs/elasticsearch/issues/1017) on the Nest module repo that recommends discussing in their Discord. Have you checked to see if a potential answer to the issue is in there?
