Hi, I see a lot of discussions on how to set the publish address on logstash, but all answers refers to config the bind\_host on elasticsearch server rather than logstash. My problem is, I have many servers where I installed only the logstash and they send info to a specific server with Elasticsearch on it. All things works well but in some servers with logstash I have multiple IP address and I have a Firewall between the logstash servers and elasticsearch server so I need to use the primary IP address from these machines so I can pass through firewall. The problem is in these multiple IPs servers the logstash set the wrong IP address as publish\_address and then have "connection timed out" problems. So how do I configure the publish address in logstash servers? Thanks ---

Now I understand! I put my the bind\_host setting on the output section, and now it is working! An excerpt of my logstash.conf: output { if "127.0.0.1" not in [message] { elasticsearch { host =\> "elasticsearch-server" index =\> "logstash-haproxy-bsa-provserpro-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" cluster =\> "elasticsearch-diretorio" bind\_host =\> "this-logstash-server" } } } Thanks ---

Hello, This previous configuration was working until I upgrade logstash to version 2. In logstash 2 I can't use bind\_host anymore, anyone have a suggestion? In the docs of logstash 2 it's say that the bind\_host is permitted but it's not really. thanks ---

The `bind_host` option isn't relevant when using the HTTP protocol, and in 2.0 the elasticsearch output is HTTP-only. See the release notes. ---
