Hi, im new to elasticsearch, i already install elasticsearch and kibana, they're running well but things have change when i edited the elastichsearch.yml file
After i edited, the elasticsearch service turn to inactive status. I read the logs file and they said
\< [2025-03-03T09:50:10,856][WARN][o.e.h.n.Netty4HttpServerTransport] [dr-oradb-uat01] received plaintext http traffic on an https channel, closing connection Netty4HttpChannel{localAddress=/127.0.0.1:9200, remoteAddress=/127.0.0.1:53516} \>
can someone tell me where im wrong, thanks a lot.

You need to provide more context about what you've changed in `elasticsearch.yml`
The log line you shared just says that Elasticsearch received a http request, when it is listening on https.
Was https disabled before?

You are using HTTP instead of HTTPS to connect ES. Also check is there any [ERROR] instead of [WARN] in the log.
In case you have problems with yaml, you should use a yaml validator e.g. [https://www.yamllint.com/](https://www.yamllint.com/)

this is my yml file

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#cluster.name: els-payment
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
node.name: dr-uat-ora01
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /data/ELK/elasticsearch/data
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /data/ELK/elasticsearch/logs
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# By default Elasticsearch is only accessible on localhost. Set a different
# address here to expose this node on the network:
#
network.host: 10.6.145.226
#
# By default Elasticsearch listens for HTTP traffic on the first free port it
# finds starting at 9200. Set a specific HTTP port here:
#
http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, consult the network module documentation.
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
discovery.seed_hosts: 10.6.145.226
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
#
# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Allow wildcard deletion of indices:
#
#action.destructive_requires_name: false
#----------------------- BEGIN SECURITY AUTO CONFIGURATION -----------------------
#
# The following settings, TLS certificates, and keys have been automatically
# generated to configure Elasticsearch security features on 22-08-2024 07:43:10
#
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i tried the link u give and it said:"Map keys must be unique at line 107, column 1"
and the line 107 is here \< xpack.security.transport.ssl: \>

This is wrong:
```auto
# Enable encryption and mutual authentication between cluster nodes
xpack.security.transport.ssl:
enabled: true
keystore.path: certs/http.p12
# Enable encryption and mutual authentication between cluster nodes
xpack.security.transport.ssl:
enabled: true
verification_mode: certificate
keystore.path: certs/transport.p12
truststore.path: certs/transport.p12
```
You need to remove the first lines and just keep for that part:
```auto
# Enable encryption and mutual authentication between cluster nodes
xpack.security.transport.ssl:
enabled: true
verification_mode: certificate
keystore.path: certs/transport.p12
truststore.path: certs/transport.p12
```

Anyway im solved the problem yesterday, i mentioned that yml file is located for root so i tried to change the owner to the ELK owner and it worked. tks a lot guys
