    I faced the same problem, but I used to make exactly the same image where everything works to this day. I can’t figure out what has changed.

    But if you need to urgently solve the problem, use my in-person image:

    docker pull kurraj/fluentd_castom:latest

    my dockerfile:

    FROM fluent/fluentd:v1.14-1

USER root

RUN gem update --system && 
gem install fluent-plugin-elasticsearch --source http://rubygems.org

    Seems to be elasticsearch 8.0 broke this feature. You could wait for a fix, and while waiting just add something like that:

    FROM fluent/fluentd:v1.12.0-debian-1.0
USER root
RUN gem uninstall -I elasticsearch && gem install elasticsearch -v 7.17.0
RUN ["gem", "install", "fluent-plugin-elasticsearch", "--no-document", "-- 
 version", "5.0.3"]
USER fluent

    I had the same issue, I solved it by updating the fluent-plugin-elasticsearch version in Dockerfile to 5.2.0.
