What's your elastic version? this your Ingest node [/172.29.57.160:9200] ? How do you try to connect, with an app? ---

I am using Elastic version 7.3.0. I am trying to connect with the Elastic cluster on our server, using my local system, and fetch the logs. ---

Either use `localhost` in your code or change `network.host` setting in your `elasticsearch.yml` file if you want elasticsearch to be available from other machines.

> [@dadoonet](#): > > elasticsearch.yml In our case we were using an older version of Elasticsearch and are only going for 7.3.0. The server port is listening to both 9200/9300. The curl script response for curl -XGET "localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty" is: { "cluster\_name" : "dummy\_cluster\_name, "status" : "yellow", "timed\_out" : false, "number\_of\_nodes" : 1, "number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 1, "active\_primary\_shards" : 56, "active\_shards" : 56, "relocating\_shards" : 0, "initializing\_shards" : 0, "unassigned\_shards" : 56, "delayed\_unassigned\_shards" : 0, "number\_of\_pending\_tasks" : 0, "number\_of\_in\_flight\_fetch" : 0, "task\_max\_waiting\_in\_queue\_millis" : 0, "active\_shards\_percent\_as\_number" : 50.0 } If I try to connect using port 9300, i get an exception that the port is not a http port. For 9200, i get an connection timeout. ---

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/e/7e6e239431ec2d71cbf1beef741f2e93e7cc762c.jpg) There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Your cluster is up, is you execute to allow rellocation of al the shards probably the cluster state change to green. This "unassigned\_shards" : 56 are probably the replicas. `cluster.routing.allocation.enable` Enable or disable allocation for specific kinds of shards: - `all` - (default) Allows shard allocation for all kinds of shards. - `primaries` - Allows shard allocation only for primary shards. - `new_primaries` - Allows shard allocation only for primary shards for new indices. - `none` - No shard allocations of any kind are allowed for any indices. if you execute that you receive the actual configuration ``` curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty" ``` Here where you have the tag "enable": "all" you have "primaries" ``` `{"persistent" : { "cluster" : {"routing" : {"rebalance" : {"enable" : "all"},` ``` About the connection error, all the nodes in your cluster have the same elasticsearch version? In the update process you are following the steps for rolling upgrades? ---
