Hi, Im trying to send webhooks to logstash with watcher, and Im getting this error

```auto
            "type" : "client_protocol_exception",
            "reason" : null,
            "caused_by" : {
              "type" : "protocol_exception",
              "reason" : "The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response"

```

sending webhooks with Alerting works fine, this is my conector

I'm not sure but based on the error message, it looks like there is a connectivity issue between watcher and the logstash instance.

Is it possible that you are using https (doesnt look like it, just to verify though)? Can you share the full exception?
