Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse the HTTP request template due to an incorrect port number. This could be because the port number is either not specified, or it’s incorrect. To resolve this issue, you can check the Elasticsearch configuration file and ensure the correct port number is specified. If the port number is correct, check if any other service is using the same port. If so, change the port number for either Elasticsearch or the conflicting service. Also, ensure that the port is open and accessible.
