Hi,

I am using elasticseach-oss 7.0.1 and logstash-oss 7.0.1 rpms in my docker image, both with searchguard. Elasticsearch is getting deployed and searchguard index is getting created. But when I deploy logstash, it keeps restarting and is going in error state with the following error:  
" LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::HttpClient::Pool::BadResponseCodeError: Got response code '500' contacting Elasticsearch at URL '[https://elasticsearch.xxxxxx:9200/\_xpack](https://elasticsearch.xxxxxx:9200/_xpack)' "

my query is: why is it trying to connect to xpack when I am using oss version? How can I resolve this error?

I found [this issue](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/10783), which seems to indicate there may be something wrong with Logstash packaging. If this seems similar to your issue I would recommend you add details about your versions there as well.

This is a packaging issue that are fixed in further releases.

However, for 7.0.1, setting `ilm_enabled => false` in logstash configuration for elasticsearch output resolved this issue.

Refer [this](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/10783) and [this](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/10875) link for details.
