I believe you are trying to connect to OpenSearch? OpenSearch is different. You can't use Logstash `8.x` `elasticsearch` output to connect to OpenSearch. ---

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance. (This is an automated response from your friendly Elastic bot.

Since you are using Elasticsearch `7.10.2`, you should be using Logstash `7.10.x` instead of `8.x`. ---

You can download past releases from [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#logstash](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#logstash), but you should upgrade your Elasticsearch to the latest `7.17.8` as `7.10` is EOL. ---

You will need to check with AWS on that. ---
