Using these packages:

> Maps Laravel Eloquent models to Elasticsearch types - GitHub - elasticquent/Elasticquent: Maps Laravel Eloquent models to Elasticsearch types

Here is my dotenv:

> ES\_HOST=search-\*\*\*\*-w3skhs3k55\*\*\*\*\*[trko6qhjsxq.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com](http://trko6qhjsxq.eu-central-1.es.amazonaws.com)  
> ES\_PORT=443  
> ES\_SCHEME=https

I'm getting this error while trying to add an index:

> {"message":"Authorization header requires 'Credential' parameter. Authorization header requires 'Signature' parameter. Authorization header requires 'SignedHeaders' parameter. Authorization header requires existence of either a 'X-Amz-Date' or a 'Date' header. Authorization=Basic Og=="}

But! All works okay when I'm creating index/adding json document to AWS ES directly via rest client without any additional headers which described in exception! What am I missing?

It could be something specific with the AWS service, as they don't run native Elasticsearch.

Hi @warkolm and thank you for you reply!  
Nobody answered me before and I'm stuck with that issue ☹

Could you please explain in more details what exactly do you mean? Where should I take a look at to search for solution?

Also why in that case all works with restful client like Insomnia (with simple http/https requests to AWS ES endpoints)?

Not an answer but did you look at [https://www.elastic.co/cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) and [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK) ?

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, APM, Logs UI, Infra UI and what is coming next 🙂 ...
