I am getting the following error, and after a few hours of reasearch and configuration changes I could not find a solution.

Jul 26 00:31:05 am01 metricbeat: {"level":"error","timestamp":"2019-07-26T00:31:05.712Z","caller":"pipeline/output.go:100","message":"Failed to connect to backoff(elasticsearch([https://elasticsearch-url](https://elasticsearch-url):elasticsearchport)): Connection marked as failed because the onConnect callback failed: 503 Service Unavailable: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"process\_cluster\_event\_timeout\_exception","reason":"failed to process cluster event (put-lifecycle-metricbeat-7.2.0) within 30s"}],"type":"process\_cluster\_event\_timeout\_exception","reason":"failed to process cluster event (put-lifecycle-metricbeat-7.2.0) within 30s"},"status":503}"}

the error suggest that the metricbeat cannot connect to elasticsearch/kibana, but if I try from the same host a wget to that url I get the following response:

{  
"name" : "elasticsearch-server-hostname",  
"cluster\_name" : "logging-prod",  
"cluster\_uuid" : "dJpkSiwlTj-QN2KGIcaTpQ",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "7.2.0",  
"build\_flavor" : "default",  
"build\_type" : "rpm",  
"build\_hash" : "508c38a",  
"build\_date" : "2019-06-20T15:54:18.811730Z",  
"build\_snapshot" : false,  
"lucene\_version" : "8.0.0",  
"minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "6.8.0",  
"minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"  
},  
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
}

What could be the problem?

Thank you
