Some things to check:
- Does your cluster name match against you ES cluster's name?
- Is there a firewall/network issue blocking logstash outbound port 9300 or Elasticsearch server inbound port 9300?
- Is ES bound to port 9300?
- Do you see any other error messages? Try running Logstash with
--debugto maybe see something else. - Is shield enabled on your ES cluster?
- Can you try
protocol => httpand see if that works instead?
