Hi All, I have a requirement to have multiple instances of ElasticSearch with one IP and different ports. For this I tried the below configuration in my elasticsearch.yml file, http.port : ["9200", "9202"] http.publish\_port : 9200 which means 9200 port will be established connection with ES and also it will be listening to 9202 port through 9200. By using the above configuration, I am able to get data from multiple index in windows machine, but not in Linux machine. Kindly help me on the issue, whether its a proper way to configure multiple ports. ---

You can't do that. But you can start 2 nodes on the same machine. One can be a client node only with port 9202. That being said I don't understand the use case TBH ---

Did you mean to say like, two nodes means to have a cluster whose one node running on ES 9200 and other node on ES 9201. Could you also please elaborate your information, as I am new to ES. ---

Yes. But the question is still why do you think you need that? ---

You cannot get ES to listen on multiple ports for the HTTP or transport protocols. ---

Thanks for your input. Also could you please suggest me if there is any other way to fullfill this requirement. @Dadoonet, We need to follow that approach as we have so many scripts to run on ES. Please suggest a solution for this approach(how to get data from different indices residing at different ports of single IP) ---

> how to get data from different indices residing at different ports of single IP It does not make any sense to me. Can you elaborate with a concrete example what you are trying to do? ---

ok, Let me explain you clearly below, 1. ES instance one(port 9201), ES instance two(port 9202) but IP's will be same 2. Two ES instances are running 3. I am loading person table data into ES 9201 4. I am loading address table data into ES 9202 5. Now I am able to get the data of both indexes separately 6. Now I need to get data of both Person & Address using single ES url (ex: [http://ip](http://ip):port/persons,addresses/person,address/\_search) Kindly let me know the solution. ---

Just create an index person in node 1 and an index address in node 1 And remove node2 ---

Yeah, it's not really clear why you want to do this? ---
