Hi Team,

## Please help for the below error. This is happening recently as Logstash is not able to ingest data to Elasticsearch.

## `elasticsearch - Encountered a retryable error. Will Retry with exponential backoff {:code=>400, :url=>"http://elasticsearch:9200/_bulk"}`

Logstash 7.8 and Elasticsearch 7.8  
Any help is appreciated. No error logs on Elasticsearch
