Hello,

I have deployed single node on machine, while starting the elasticsearch is getting stopped and returns and exception no-up and running site-local private address found, got...

Please find the below log of ES.

`No up-and-running site-local (private) addresses found, got [name:lo (lo), name:eth0 (eth0), name:eth1(eth1)] at org.elasticsearch.common.network.NetworkUtils.getSiteLocalAddresses`

I have tried to add network.host: 0.0.0.0 also network.host: IP address but still getting the same error. Please let me know how I can proceed further and is any network causing this issue.

It's hard to tell from the fragments of information you've shared, but I think this means something is configured to use `_site_` or a variant, but you have no site-local addresses on this machine.

Hello,  
Thanks for the help.

I have made the changes in elasticsearch.yml in transport.host, I have changed site to local and the es got started.

As I'm a beginner, could you let me know what function does transport.host does and if there is any issue if there are multiple interfaces on the host machine.

Regards,  
Shubham Hate

I do not recommend setting `transport.host` -- you should normally set `network.host` instead. [These docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-transport.html) describe what it does.

No problem with multiple instances on the host machine as long as you use `network.host` to select the right interface.
