Hi All, I am not able to post data to elastic-search remote host . Please suggest if there is any specific configuration required to be done to post data from metric-beat to different Elastic-search host. Below error could be seen at metric-beat log- 2017-07-04T07:43:14Z ERR Connecting error publishing events (retrying): Get [http://machinename:9200](http://machinename:9200): dial tcp ip:9200: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Regards, Prateek ---

> [@Prateek\_Kshtriya](#): > > dial tcp ip:9200: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it This sounds like a connectivity issue. Are you have to access the same address ([http://machinename:9200](http://machinename:9200)) from a web broswer on the metricbeat host? ---

Hi Andrew , I added network.host: 0.0.0.0 in elasticsearch.yml ,worked for me. Regards, Prateek ---

I'd been messing with iptables, firewall, and other network stuff, and this is the way to make it work. I would love to hear what is the reason behind this. Thank you! ---

I came up with the configuration as 0.0.0.0 as it is default route which leads to "the rest of" the internet instead of somewhere on the local network . And as suggested from Andrew it seemed to be a network issue ,post which I tried to access the elasticsearch from different machine which failed. Changing the configuration to 0.0.0.0 made it accessible. Regards, Prateek ---
