Hi @sadhana.durge,

It's a bit confusing but this part of the log is the stacktrace from the shutdown process. Can you scroll further back, looking for the part of the code that is returning a NotFoundError/404?

Thanks,
Rick B

Actually! You are pointing to the Kibana instance. You'll need the ES instance from your Elastic Cloud endpoint, it is usually the same endpoint as Kibana but with .es. instead of .kb.

Hope that helps,
Rick B

Thanks Rick, that solved the issue.
