Problem

I'm getting issues when fluentd is pushing logs to elasticsearch. The status code is 400.

failed to flush the buffer.
error_class=Fluent::Plugin::ElasticsearchOutput::RecoverableRequestFailure 
error="could not push logs to Elasticsearch cluster (cluster-${tag}): [400] 
{
    "error": {
        "root_cause": [
            {
                "type": "parse_exception",
                "reason": "request body is required"
            }
        ],
        "type": "parse_exception",
        "reason": "request body is required"
    },
    "status": 400
}

What version of fluentd are you using? I'm getting 400s on version 1.15.1+ but it works fine for me on 1.15.0
