Hey guys,

I have a Linux machine running Elasticsearch, I'm trying to add a Windows machine to it to capture the logs, I installed winlogbeat to the windows machine, but when I try to run winlogbeat.exe setup, it says it cannot get to the Linux server with Elasticsearch on it, I ran a portscan and it shows port 9200 is open and curl -XGET 127.0.0.1:9200 does give me something from the server itself, but it looks like the Windows machine cannot get to it, other machines can browse [http://elasticsearch.example.com:9200](http://elasticsearch.example.com:9200), but not this Windows machine, what can be the problem?

Thanks.

you probably need to change the default elasticsearch configuration to listen on the network and not just localhost and 127.0.0.1 (that is the default).
