Hey,

I try to create Kibana watcher that will monitor elastic task queue.  
Input plugin:

```
"input": {
    "http": {
      "request": {
        "url": "https://myelastic.com/_cluster/pending_tasks",
        "auth": {}
      }
    }
  }

```

I get error in Kigana

`"ElasticsearchTimeoutException[failed to execute http request. timeout expired]; nested: SocketTimeoutException[connect timed out]; ",`

On Elasticsearch master node I have the same

`[o.e.x.w.i.h.ExecutableHttpInput] [es-prod-elasticsearch-master-node-2] failed to execute [http] input for watch [elastic_pending_tasks], reason [failed to execute http request. timeout expired]`

What can cause such error?

Thasnk,  
Serhii
