A bit more context would help. Are you changing the port or interface that ES is listening on? ---

We had this issue, too. It can be caused by a wrong IP in the elasticsearch.yml (network.bind\_host and network.publish\_host, or, setting both, network.host). Or if your elasticsearch container runs in a docker container, you may have to give docker more control over the network. ---
