When I use the search function in my development environment, Elasticsearch returns status 200 like the following.

```
TRACE: 2017-02-28T06:46:01Z
  -> POST http://localhost:9200/users/_suggest
  {
    "docsuggest": {
      "text": "a",
      "completion": {
        "field": "name_suggest",
        "fuzzy": true
      }
    }
  }
  <- 200
  {
    "_shards": {
      "total": 5,
      "successful": 5,
      "failed": 0
    },
    "docsuggest": [
      {
        "text": "a",
        "offset": 0,
        "length": 1,
        "options": []
      }
    ]
  }

```

But in production, it returns this.

```
TRACE: 2017-02-28T06:43:44Z
  -> POST http://172.31.18.8:9200/users/_suggest
  {
    "docsuggest": {
      "text": "l",
      "completion": {
        "field": "name_suggest",
        "fuzzy": true
      }
    }
  }
  <- 0

```

How can I get the status 200?

My production setups are as follows.

I have only one master-eligible data node in my cluster.  
I set number\_of\_shards to 1, and number\_of\_replicas to 0.  
Configuration for the elasticsearch.yaml.

```
http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: /https?:\/\/localhost(:[0-9]+)?/
cluster.name: MyAppName
node.name: ${HOSTNAME}
bootstrap.memory_lock: true
network.host: 0.0.0.0
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
```

You mean `trace` log?  
If so, it doesn't return any errors.  
It just times out.

Only this output from server when I start my web app, not when I execute search.

Are you sure elasticsearch is running. Are you sure it's started?

Please check your elasticsearch logs and if no logs, search your system logs.

One more thing to add is that I can store data into elasticsearch but can't get it.

I don't have system logs.  
`trace` log is the only log I have.

I mean I have nginx installed on the web server but nginx doesn't have any values from elasticsearch, so I don't have system logs.

I installed elasticsearch from tar, so `bin/elasticsearch`.

`bin/elasticsearch` creates logs in `logs` dir and on the console where you started it.

I use 5.0.2 because the elasticsearch client for Javascript supports up to 5.0.

```
curl -XGET '172.31.18.8:9200/users?pretty'
{
  "users" : {

  }
}

The below is for getting data from elasticsearch using Javascript, which fails in production environment.  
One thing to note is that this code works in development environment and the only difference between production and environment is `host: '172.31.18.8:9200'` and `host: 'localhost:9200'` respectively.

```

        },

                client.suggest({
