Sniffing is not working becose the plugin is looking for a field http\_address from \_nodes that does not exists anymore in ES 5.0.0

Related issue in ES 5:

> <https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/21292>

  

> <https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/19218>

According to the code file ([https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/blob/master/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client/pool.rb](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/blob/master/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client/pool.rb)) its looking for the field 'http\_address' from the http respond\_nodes ([http://myelastic:9200/\_nodes](http://myelastic:9200/_nodes))

That field was removed and they are proposing to obtain the address from \_nodes/http, fields http.bound\_address

```
 def check_sniff
  url, resp = perform_request(:get, '_nodes')
  parsed = LogStash::Json.load(resp.body)
  parsed['nodes'].map do |id,info|
    # TODO Make sure this works with shield. Does that listed
    # stuff as 'https_address?'
    addr_str = info['http_address'].to_s
    next unless addr_str # Skip hosts with HTTP disabled

```

Looking for issues at github, i can not find anything related to this....
