Hi Everyone! 🙂

Can you help me to know how to check the connection between my java application to Elasticsearch? Btw, I am using the Elasticsearch version 8.11. I see the documentation [Connecting | Elasticsearch JavaScript Client [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/8.11/client-connecting.html)

But not sure how does it works. Thanks for your help, hope to hear from you soonest! 🙂

I'm just calling `info()`.

The documentation you should look at is [Elasticsearch Java API Client [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/index.html). The one you linked to is for JavaScript. Not Java 😉
