reinstate Elasticsearch Standalone support for Connections v7+

Customers are forced to setup Kubernetes envoirnments if they want to continue using Metrics & Quicksearch for Connections - v7 & v8 only support Kubernetes-Elasticsearch.

For most small customers (<1500 users) Kubernetes deployment is not an option (toooo much hardware & no experience in running Kubernetes production envoirnments).
They are forced to stay on v6.5 with a Standalone ES if they want to continue using Quicksearch & Metrics.
