I am not able to connect via curl in elasticsearch. Currently I am using single node which has everything(graylog apps, MongoDB, Elasticsearch). Please assist. root@node1:~# curl -XGET '[http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_cluster/state](http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cluster/state)' curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 9200: Connection refused root@node1:~# curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/state](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state)' curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused ---

Is ES even? Is it bound to the loopback interface? Is there a firewall that might be blocking access? ---
