When trying to connect Logstash to ElasticSearch I'm getting this error and I don't understand why. The error mentions a "dead ES instance" but ElasticSearch is running and I'm able to access the API with curl from the server. Config : Debian 9 ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/e/eebe95aad4f1a4de5d92aba12585bf97ec0201a7.png) Thanks ---

Thanks @tom55 . Could you also send me your conf file ? I believe you have made your configuration in logstash-sample.conf ? ---

Hi @tom55 , If you have TLS enabled, in your logstash conf output plugin, hosts =\> ["[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"] won't work. You might want to check using https instead. ---

Also have you enabled Xpack ? If yes, then that might require you to add some settings to your logstash.yml which you havent added. ---

Hello, the problem came from an incompatibility between logstash and ES which had different versions. Thanks for help @KrishnaShah7 ---
