I have a ton of 9200 sessions running

I have lots of these sessions running when I do a netstat -an | grep 9200

Interesting. Are you just telling us about this or do you want something more?

Is this normal? Is there a way I can eliminate them?

I have 5 times as many sessions as I listed above.

What is this host?

host IP of the ELK server

So you have LS talking to ES and KB talking to ES, all on the same host?
If so then that is what those connections would be.

thanks
