Looking at your log output, it says:

> ... [Error connection to Elasticsearch [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200):...]

In your configuration file, there is this section:

```auto
output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  #hosts: ["192.168.0.100:9200"]
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

```

Could you try commenting out the `hosts: ["localhost:9200"]` line and seeing if that helps?

Thanks,

Shaunak
