A lot of confusion and I can't seem to solve this issue

Thanks for sharing this but what you have shared is completely the opposite of what i wanted done. For instance if I check this IP
118.31.106.59 is down!

It says that it's down but the fact that this is not down when you check using a specific port which in this case is 9200.

The host itself could ignore ICMP packets (standard on Windows).
Something between could filter out ICMP packets. Using ping is not a reliable method to detect if a host is reachable over network.

Then you shared this code:

import requests
 
with open('ip_lst1.txt') as f:
    for ip in f:
        ip = ip.strip()
        print(ip)
        response = requests.get(f"http://{ip}:9200/_cat/indices")
        print(response.text.strip())

You got this Exception: requests.exceptions.ConnectionError

Then catch this exception:

import requests
 
with open('ip_lst1.txt') as f:
    for ip in f:
        ip = ip.strip()
        print(ip)
        try:
            response = requests.get(f"http://{ip}:9200/_cat/indices")
        except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
            print("Connection error")
        else:
            print(response.text.strip())

In addition, you could and should add a timeout. It happens very frequently, that a host answers veryyy slooooooow.

import requests
 
with open('ip_lst1.txt') as f:
    for ip in f:
        ip = ip.strip()
        print(ip)
        try:
            # with timeout of 5 seconds
            # if timeout happens -> requests.exceptions.ConnectionError is raised
            response = requests.get(f"http://{ip}:9200/_cat/indices", timeout=5)
        except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
            print("Connection error")
        else:
            print(response.text.strip())

By the way, f should be fd or another better recognizable name.

Thanks a lot guys this is now been resolved

Now the only problem I am facing is how to output the scan result in a text file like scan.txt

You can do it like this.

import requests

with open('ip_lst1.txt') as fd,open('scan.txt', 'w') as fd_out:
    for ip in fd:
        try:
            ip = ip.strip()
            print(ip)
            response = requests.get(f"http://{ip}:9200/_cat/indices", timeout=2)
            print(response.text.strip())
            fd_out.write(f'{ip}\n{response.text.strip()}\n')
        except Exception as error:
            #print(error)
            pass
