hey magnusbaeck, yeah I disabled it again. By falling back to a default yaml file that didn't include the groovy directive. Also I wouldn't be affected by a 'service iptables stop' command fortunately. Because I'm on CentOS 7 and using firewalld instead. But it was a temporary thing and this is just an experimental LS/ES instance. So not much harm could come of it. But the most frustrating thing to me currently is that if I rename my cluster I am unable to have LS and ES communicate. Any idea why that would be?
