Enhanced Search continues to give error messages hourly.

[oneobgynmd]

we are using XenForo Enhanced Search 2.2.0 with Xenforo version 2.0.9 (I am not sure where UI find which version of Xenforo we are using)
For the past several months we are getting error messages almost hourly. These go away when our server is restarted only to recur again. We get messages such as this

XFES\Elasticsearch\ConnectException: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to localhost port 9200 after 0 ms: Connection refused (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) in src/addons/XFES/Elasticsearch/Api.php at line 390

Yesterday we had a log message of

This is the only error I see in the current elasticsearch.log file:​

Also checked the log file from yesterday elasticsearch-2022-06-26-1.log and it has the same error.

Our web host asked us "Do you use the GeoIp functionality in ElasticSearch at all? Do you have something configured in the admin section for it?"

The answer is we don't

we have no idea why this is happening . Any suggestions would be most appreciated
