Hi,

We are trying to send rsyslog from fluentd(td-agent) to cluster elaskticsearch (with xpack), but getting an error .

/etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf

```
<source>

```

@type syslog  
port 5140  
bind 0.0.0.0  
tag system

\<match \*\*\>  
@type copy  
  
@type elasticsearch  
logstash\_format true  
host 10.10.10.10  
port 9200  
ca\_file /etc/certs/ca  
user elasticuser  
password 123456  
ssl\_verify false  
logstash\_prefix fluentd  
logstash\_dateformat %Y%m%d  
include\_tag\_key true  
tag\_key @log\_name  
flush\_interval 5s

Error:  
2020-02-27 13:28:34 +0300 [warn]: #0 Could not communicate to Elasticsearch, resetting connection and trying again. Connection refused - connect(2) for 10.10.10.10:9200 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
