Hello,

I am having this error trying to send logs from fluentd/td-agent.

2019-12-20 12:46:00 +0100 [warn]: #0 failed to flush the buffer. retry\_time=18 next\_retry\_seconds=2019-12-20 12:46:27 +0100 chunk="59a205d168e33dc874110deadf544b7d" error\_class=Fluent::Plugin::ElasticsearchOutput::RecoverableRequestFailure error="could not push logs to Elasticsearch cluster ({:host=\>"elasticsearch-logging.mirada.lab", :port=\>80, :scheme=\>"http"}): read timeout reached"
