Hello All,
I did my first ELK setup on AWS Ec2 instance. for learning purpose i have kept it all on single instance. I have done below configurations but still not able to create indices.
xx.xxx.xx.xx is my IP address
What Mark meant with not exposing ES to the internet w/o security wasn't about you posting the IP but about the fact that your ES instance is accessible publicly. Read here for more information why this is a very bad idea, in particular with old versions of Elasticsearch:
About ES 1.4.4 - if you want to get started with Elasticsearch, my advise would be to use the latest version you can get. It contains lots of new features, performance improvements and bug fixes compared to old versions. No use learning the old API if at the end of the day you'll want to use a newer version anyway.
About your problem in particular: As this happened during playing around with Logstash and Elasticsearch, my hunch would be that you are faced with an outdated sincedb. Check here for more information on this:
