Hi David,  
Thanks for the information.  
I am not aware of what could be the changes i have to make in logging.yml.  
Secondly as i earlier said in my elasticsearch.yml i have the [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): elasticsearch but when i browse the url '[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)' it responded with 503 status and the [cluster.name](http://cluster.name):graylog2. which i did't set before .  
i tried to remove the elasticsearch and before re-installing again, i browsed the '[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)' i am getting the same error even without installing the elasticsearch.

thanks in advance.  
Regards,  
Jagan

You apparently have Graylog installed. Elasticsearch is installed as part of Graylog.
