I have a elasticSearch deployed on url "[hd-yfcs-es6.xxx.com](http://hd-yfcs-es6.xxx.com)". I can curl it and get result like following

```auto
[root@A04-R08-I198-70-1WLFTP2 conf]# curl CfsEs:CfsEs-es@hd-yfcs-es6.xxx.com:80 -v
* About to connect() to hd-yfcs-es6.xxx.com port 80 (#0)

    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
* Closing connection 0

```

But when I use filebeat, I got error like this:

```auto
[root@A04-R08-I198-70-1WLFTP2 conf]# filebeat test output -c /export/xxx/conf/filebeat.yml -e

```

I think problem is about http-protocol. Can someone help me to finger it out?

Can we see your elasticsearch config? Might be an issue with the node discovery settings or some such.
