You are telling your watch to gather input from the \_cluster/health API of one of the Elastic servers:

```
  "input": {
"http": {
  "request": {
    "host": "10.62.8.15",
    "port": 9200,
    "path": "/_cluster/health"
  }
}

```

but the URL is not available to the server executing the watch:

```
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "no_http_response_exception",
        "reason": "10.62.8.15:9200 failed to respond"
      }

```

So this seems to be a networking issue unrelated to Elastic. Perhaps you can try to set host to localhost?
