Hi, The machine that I run logstash process has two network interfaces (public and private) and it looks like the logstash process picks up my private IP address as the "publish\_address" by default. As I use the option "node", it is not able to join the cluster as this address is not visible externally. Master node is in a different network. Could someone suggest how can I specifically set the publish address for the logstash process? I know this option is available for the elastic search processes in its config file (elasticsearch.yml) but not aware of how to set this for the logstash process.

bind\_host option did the trick!

Now I understand! I put the bind\_host setting on the output section, and now it is working! An excerpt of my logstash.conf: output { if "127.0.0.1" not in [message] { elasticsearch { host =\> "elasticsearch-server" index =\> "logstash-haproxy-bsa-provserpro-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" cluster =\> "elasticsearch-diretorio" bind\_host =\> "this-logstash-server" } } } Thanks ---
