When installing fluentd with helm, error occurs 'Could not communicate to Elasticsearch, resetting connection and trying again. EOFError (EOFError)'

I try to install fluentd with helm in k8s. But when i install, error occurs ‘Could not communicate to Elasticsearch, resetting connection and trying again. EOFError (EOFError)’. All k8s object related elasticsearch and fluentd is in same namespace efk.

curl to Elasticsearch cluster in curlimage pod in same namespace

$ curl --cacert ca.crt -u elastic:xxxx https://elasticsearch-master:9200

I am using the self-signed certificate generated by Elastic Search helm chart, so I set the ca, but I think I did something wrong there.

I accessed the Pod and read the mounted certificate file and found that it exists.

When I modify variant in fluentd values.yaml to elasticsearch8, error logs like below and then repeat:
