Hi All,
I want the elastic search to listen on the ports - 9300 to 9400 and 9200
by only localhost. I have set the bind and publish host as the default :
192.168.0.1 only.Also, in the url as well i am using localhost. But still
it listens on this port from everywhere, even though I have not asked for
it to listen.
So it seems I am missing some configuration. Any pointers here?

Hey,
can you post your configuration maybe, as it is easier to check.
Also calling netstat -tulpe (for Linux, no sure about mac os x) shows, that
elasticsearch is bound to all ips?
In addition it would be useful to know the elasticsearch version you are
using.

if u set bind\_host to 0.0.0.0 . it is going to listen on all interfaces
if u set bind\_host to 192.168.0.1. it is going to listen on eth0
if u set bind\_host to 127.0.0.1. it is goint to listen on lo which
serves all localhost queries.
by default publish\_host the first interface it finds other than
bind\_host. But you can set it to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all no lo interfaces.
According to your requirement.
- bind\_host should be 127.0.0.1
- publish\_host seems ok with your requirement.
