Failed to connect to elasticsearch from logstash

[nanshan]

I have ELB: elasticsearch-data.dev-ore, and there are 3 easlticsearch-nodes behind it.

20:58:33 dev-ore-logstash-i-bef580a6 root ~ > telnet elasticsearch-data.dev-ore  9200
Trying 10.0.19.78...

It said it was connected to at the first and then closed it due to index_not_found_exception.

I am confused why?

Why are you using telnet instead of e.g. curl to talk to ES? Judging by what you've pasted above you're not placing a valid HTTP request at all so I'm not sure what you expect would happen.
