Hi Community,

I've recently installed elasticsearch/ kibana 5.2.1 on a linux vm and was able to stream data from my application. I've then shutdown my vm and restarted it the following day. Now I can no longer stream data to elasticsearch.

Checking the test.log from the elasticsearch log, I'm just continually getting the following:

[2017-02-24T08:40:05,772][INFO][o.e.m.j.JvmGcMonitorService] [ubuntu-dtsrv01] [gc][1208] overhead, spent [323ms] collecting in the last [1s]

[2017-02-24T08:40:15,142][INFO][o.e.m.j.JvmGcMonitorService] [ubuntu-dtsrv01] [gc][1217] overhead, spent [383ms] collecting in the last [1.2s]

I can successfully connect to elasticsearch from my host application.

Also when I enter the url http://\<elasticsearch\_host\>:9200/\_bulk on my browser, I'm receiving the following error

{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"No endpoint or operation is available at [\_bulk]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"No endpoint or operation is available at [\_bulk]"},"status":400}

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Regards,  
Edward

You cannot connect to the `_bulk` API via a browser.  
What are you trying to do?
