Lack of live connection Error connecting Elasticsearch in nodejs

Question

I am having this problem when connecting elasticsearch connections.

var elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch');
var client = new elasticsearch.Client({ host: 'localhost:9200',
                                       log: 'trace'});

Elasticsearch ERROR: 2016-07-19T19: 09: 26Z

I understand that this question is quite old, but I wanted to share how you can solve this problem.

• If you use local elasticsearch search

The first thing you need to do is run elasticsearch on your machine.
