Can the transport ports on elasticsearch be disabled somehow the way http ports can be disabled? If the http port on a single node elasticsearch instance is being used by kibana and logstash, there should be a way to disable the unused transport ports.

Disabling unused ports

Transport port is used for node to node communication. If you have just one node, then you can bind to 127.0.0.1:9300 by using transport.bind_host.

Otherwise you can block the port using iptables.
