How can I pass elasticsearch host address

[ankitola]

host = args.host if args.host else input('Enter Elasticsearch host: ')

I am getting this error while running elastalert on container.
Even I copied the config file on right place.
Can someone please help me to get out of this.

Hi - I've converted this into a discussion as it fits better here.

You are also going to need to post more details to get useful help.

• Have you followed the instructions here?
• Have you set the es_host value?
• Have you attempted to start the container with a shell in order to check that your configuration file is being correctly mounted?

Yes, I have set the value for es_host
Here is the my config file.
rules_folder: example_rules
run_every:
minutes: 1
buffer_time:
minutes: 15
es_host: localhost
es_port: 9200

This is what I am getting even after mounting the config file inside the container.
podman run -v /tmp/config.yaml:/opt/config/config.yaml --name elastalert elastalert
Enter Elasticsearch host: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/elastalert-create-index", line 8, in
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/elastalert/create_index.py", line 219, in main
host = args.host if args.host else input('Enter Elasticsearch host: ')
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Your config mount point is incorrect. Please review the link @ferozsalam posted earlier.

Oh, my bad.
Thanks now it is working fine.

One more query if you guys can check here or should I create another issue with another heading.

My ealstalert alert was working fine for last 2 months but now I am not getting any alerts.
But whenever I run elastalert with verbose mode, I am able to get an alert.
Do you think any silence issue with Elasticsearch?
