Hello! I'm trying to run elasticsearch on a v-server that has a private ip adress bound to it's interface which translates into a public ip address. So how do I configure elasticsearch properly in order to reach elasticsearch both locally and externally? Thanks in advance! ---

Just use `0.0.0.0`, so it'll bound to anything. ---

So it would be network.host: 0.0.0.0 right? ---

I have tried that before. When I edited the config file and restarted the service, the service was up for 10 seconds and then another service elasticsearch status command showed me [FAIL] elasticsearch is not running ... failed! ---

What do your ES logs show then? ---

That's also a thing I don't understand. When I do: cat /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log I get log output from 10 hours ago...So I don't know how I can send you a log from the current situation. ---

If you changed the cluster name then the log file will be a different name. ---

Wow, okay, didn't know that, thank you very much! There was an issue with the memory going on, everything is working now. Thanks again! 🙂 ---
