Hi, The error is quite clear, you are trying to assign a ip that is not configured on your box. In this example you configure network.host: 10.42.0.204 http.port: 9200 But your box has my host has address 10.1.1.209 That is not correct, the elasticsearch.yml should reflect your network. ie: network.host: 10.1.1.209 ---

I found solution like this #http communication network.bind\_host: 10.1.1.209 http.port: 9200 #node communication node.master: true node.data: true transport.host: localhost transport.tcp.port: 9300 ---
