Host Elastic Search in IP address

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I have modified the below attribute in elasticsearch.yml so that I can access from other machine which is within network.

network.host: <ip address here>

But, I'm getting the below error.

    [2019-04-16T13:04:30,635][INFO ][o.e.t.TransportService   ] [node-1] publish_address {<ipaddress>:9300}, bound_addresses {<ipaddress>:9300}

Please assist.

Hi @warkolm,

Thanks for the reply. I have modified the below attribute and the above mentioned error is gone now.

discovery.type: single-node

But, when I access to ES using the IP I'm getting the below error in browser.

Network Error (tcp_error)
A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

Is there a firewall or proxy somewhere on the network?
Can you try a curl?

@warkolm I am getting the below error with CURL

curl: (7) Failed to connect to <ip> port <port>: Timed out

Yea, there is Symantec Endpoint Protection running on my machine. That might be causing this issue. I will check with network team

You can use Nmap or ZenMap to check connection from your machine to target. It also pings every port at target.
