Team,

1. I have installed elastic search service and prerequisites on a local machine. I could see that "service elasticsearch status" shows that service is running.

2. Below logs are dumped to /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log file when service is launched. Ip table service is stopped.

3. I explicitly un commented network.host and port fields to bind to specified ip and port( 9200), but when i try to contact the machine using [http://10.147.38.151:9200](http://10.147.38.151:9200), nothing shows up, but the webserver is running on this machine and other sites are accessible. Any thoughts?
