Hello,

Can you please help me for understanding elastcisearch deployment for production. any quick help appreciated.

Currently i have configured one aws ec2 server with eleastciserch for my production.

There will be 400 client machine sending logs to this server and only one master cluster and one node configured.

Will this be a good solution approach ?

Since my ec2 server ip changes frequently what ip will mention in "elasticsearch.yml — network.host " ?

Thanks

currently having some issues with my implementation ....Configured Elastcisearch in aws EC2 - Could you please suggest?

if elasticsearch.yml -network.host=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(server ip) then i am able to access the [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200) from out side this server.

if elasticsearch.yml -network.host=_local_ or commented out then i am **NOT** able to access the [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9200) from out side this server.

Because of this limitation i am forced to put ip in my elastcisearch.yml, but if server IP changes then this solution will not work...
