When I see the log, I found the following error message. No idea to solve it.

This looks like the source of the problem. You may want to have a look over [Configure Centralized Pipeline Management | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/configuring-centralized-pipelines.html#configuration-management-settings) to double check you have all of the right settings.

Double checked.

I have all the required settings in logstash.yml

It looks like you have an incorrect URL configured for your Elasticsearch node.

You have something like `localhost:9200`, but you need to enter a full URL like `http://localhost:9200`
