Your `elasticsearch.yml` looks good. These are the only config settings in there that Enterprise Search cares about:

```auto
action.auto_create_index: ".ent-search-*-logs-*,-.ent-search-*,-test-.ent-search-*,+*"
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.authc.api_key.enabled: true

```

It looks like you have 2 of the 3. Maybe try adding `action.auto_create_index` just in case. Oh, and can you note what version you're on? I'm assuming latest / 7.9.2?

`enterprise-search.yml` looks like it's missing `elasticsearch.host` - can you confirm you have it and that it's set to the correct URL? You don't have to paste it here (obviously, for security reasons - also I'd suggest replacing your elasticsearch.password with a `''` as well!), just verbally confirm that it's there.

Also a quick reminder - don't forget to hard stop & restart **both** Elasticsearch and Enterprise Search whenever you change a config yml file! They don't restart automatically and the changes won't take if you don't manually restart.
