Which is about silencing the error

`ElasticsearchWarning: Elasticsearch built-in security features are not enabled. Without authentication, your cluster could be accessible to anyone. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/security-minimal-setup.html to enable security.`

Is it possible to do what was suggested from Python?

I tried these two solutions but they didn't work:

```auto
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger("elasticsearch")
logger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)

```

```auto
es_logger = elasticsearch.logger
es_logger.setLevel(elasticsearch.logging.ERROR)

```

Thanks a lot.

I got a solution that works from [Getting ElasticsearchWarning on search request · Issue #1878 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1878)

```auto
import warnings
from elasticsearch.exceptions import ElasticsearchWarning
warnings.simplefilter('ignore', ElasticsearchWarning)

```
