Hello,

This is odd, I got this working on an old Ubuntu VM and old Docker/Compose, it might not be this, but I've build a new Ubunutu server and with all the latest versions and can't get Elastisearch/Kibana to work.

It takes minutes to setup via here, maybe someone can test too? [ElastiFlow-Tools/docker\_install at main · elastiflow/ElastiFlow-Tools · GitHub](https://github.com/elastiflow/ElastiFlow-Tools/tree/main/docker_install)

[2024-08-04T06:27:41.883+00:00][ERROR][plugins.security.authentication] License information could not be obtained from Elasticsearch due to an error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN es01

```

So it can't get to es01. I've not added es01 to DNS as I have never had to before, should I add to the VMs local host file?

If I add es01 to the local host file as 127.0.0.1

```auto

```

If I change the local host to use the real IP I get the same issue:

```auto

        ]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 10s

```

I'm sure it's something simple I'm doing wrong.
