Hello friends, my Elasticsearch server is constantly receiving requests from other IPs. Is it possible to find out from which IP the most requests are received? Any ideas will help me thank you in advance.

You will need subscription to enable audit logs

Isn't there any other solution? Using monitoring for example ?

You could do this with Packetbeat listening on the HTTP port, but it's all DIY.
