heartbeat detects any physical device as being up fine, but almost anything that's a virtual server its marking it as down. I think 1 of the 12 virtual servers is marked as up. I'm just using the http type for the server

type: http  
id: domain-Controller  
name: serverdc01  
enabled: true  
schedule: '@every 600s'  
hosts: ["XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"]  
ipv4: true

the error message im seeing in kibana is  
error.message Get [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): dial tcp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80: connect: connection refused  
and  
error.type io
