I am OK at ubuntu. I am trying to learn and explore Elastic and Kibana as a SIEM.  
I have tried this with fresh 18.04 and 19 Ubuntu server with the same results. Basically, I follow the directions here  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html)

I install all updates and these are my exact commands I put in:

wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https  
 echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch  
 sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload sudo /bin/systemctl enable elasticsearch.service  
$ sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

Finally, I get to the cURL test and enter:  
$ curl -X GET "localhost:9200/?pretty"

and I get back:  
{  
"name" : "siemubuntu",  
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",  
"cluster\_uuid" : "P27ksrrSRQ6\_ZdMXYMyjYw",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "7.3.0",  
"build\_flavor" : "default",  
"build\_type" : "deb",  
"build\_hash" : "de777fa",  
"build\_date" : "2019-07-24T18:30:11.767338Z",  
"build\_snapshot" : false,  
"lucene\_version" : "8.1.0",  
"minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "6.8.0",  
"minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"  
},  
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
}

However, when I open a browser and goto 192.168.10.206:9200, I get

# This site can’t be reached

**192.168.10.206** refused to connect.

The default FW is off and Webmin works fine (yes, updated!).

Any help would be appreciated!

Make sure to set "network.host: 0.0.0.0" in elasticsearch.yml

Thanks. Made the change and now I get:

siemadmin@siemubuntu:~ curl -X GET "localhost:9200/?pretty" curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused siemadmin@siemubuntu:~

I rebooted as well with no improvement.
