Hi,

I have my logs and logstash running on the one EC2 machine (M1), so I read my logs placed on my local machine with this config:

```
input { 
    file{
        path => "/path/to/logs/in/M1"
        start_position => "beginning"
    }
}

```

Now, we have elasticsearch running on a different EC2 machine (M2) and I need to transfer the logs from M1 to elasticsearch in M2 using logstash. I used the following output config:

```
output {
    stdout { codec => rubydebug }

    elasticsearch {
            hosts => "http://<M2 ip address>:9200"
        index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    }
}

```

When I run the config file, I get the following error:

```
04:18:57.640 [[main]>worker0] WARN logstash.outputs.elasticsearch - UNEXPECTED POOL ERROR {:e=>#<LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::HttpClient::Pool::NoConnectionAvailableError: No Available connections>}

```

I am new to logstash. Any help is appreciated.

Can you `curl <M2 ip address>:9200` and `telnet <M2 ip address>:9200`?
