Hello, I'm trying to forward logs from Kafka machine to Elasticsearch machine using kafka elastic connect referring below document > **[Kafka Connect Elasticsearch: Kafka Connector Consuming & Indexing - Sematext](https://sematext.com/blog/kafka-connect-elasticsearch-how-to/)** > > In the world of DevOps, metric collection, log centralization and analysis Apache Kafka is the most commonly used middleware. More specifically, it is used as a fast, persistent queue between data sources like log shippers and the storage that makes... configurations are: name=elasticsearch-sink connector.class=io.confluent.connect.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSinkConnector tasks.max=1 topics=logs topic.index.map=logs:logs\_index connection.url=[http://192.168.1.18:9200](http://192.168.1.18:9200) // elasticsearch ip type.name=log key.ignore=true schema.ignore=true My kafka cluster ip address is : 192.168.1.9 , 192.168.1.10 However if i'm installing elasticsearch on same machine as kafka and changing connection.url=[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) i'm able to view index created without any docs in it Require your assistance Thanks in advance ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 We may not be able to help here as it sounds like kafka isn't sending the data to Elasticsearch, you may need to ask somewhere more kafka specific. ---

Note that this document is quite old. One thing that has changed in Elasticsearch is that document types have been deprecated and removed so it is possible that `type.name=log` is causing problems if you are using a recent version of Elasticsearch. Try removing this or change it to `_doc`. I am not familiar with this connector and it is not supported here, so you may need to reach out to the maintainers or the Kafka community for guidance and compatibility information. ---

Thank you for your response. I tried with given solution, but it isn't working. Do you have any more suggestion? ---
