Hi,  
My elasticsearch is not connecting with kibana because we are using 8.15.0 version.It is giving error [ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. security\_exception  
Root causes:  
security\_exception: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/\_nodes?filter\_path=nodes._.version%2Cnodes._.http.publish\_address%2Cnodes.\*.ip]

My docker-compose file is below.

We have used ELASTICSEARCH\_SERVICE\_TOKEN also but it doesn't work.  
But we have used the above docker-compose for the version elasticsearch:7.16.2 and kibana:7.16.2 and it is working good,but it doesn't work for 8.15.0 version.Can anyone help on this?
