Description

Reported in the user forum, 2025-06-18:

In the 2.9 Admin doc page on Elasticsearch, it recommends disabling auto-discovery by setting the Transport Type to Local for performance:

However, as of ES 6.0 and later, Local Transport has been removed. Attempting to make this change in AtoM 2.9 or later causes ES to crash. See:

Contributor guide

Research direction
Remove the outdated recommendation to disable auto discovery via Local Transport from the Elasticsearch admin guide, and note that Local Transport has been removed in ES 6.0+.
