Upgrading to ELK 2 connectivity problems

Ok, I have an issue I suspect in an elasticsearch problem but I could be wrong,

So I have a CENT0S 6 box that has Elasticsearch 2.1.1 installed, this is a fresh install via YUM, and not an upgrade of my existing ELK stack.

I am unable to have either Logstash 2 or another elasticsearch 2 machine connect to this.

I have enabled the bind to the lan IP using network.host, firewalls, and selinux are disabled, and even with additional logging there is nothing in the logs,
I am able to connect to check stats using "/_nodes" from any machine on the network .

In logstash 2 on a 2nd machine the the logs simply fill up with :
> message=>"Flushing buffer at interval", :instance=>"#<LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::Buffer:0x3c6bf360 @operations_mutex=#<Mutex:0x32ac0a9d>, @max_size=500, @operations_lock=#<Java::JavaUtilConcurrentLocks::ReentrantLock:0x36939810>, @submit_proc=#<Proc:0x10021d47@/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-2.2.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:55>, @logger=#<Cabin::Channel:0x42281538 @metrics=#<Cabin::Metrics:0x68515675 @metrics_lock=#<Mutex:0x13beffe9>, @metrics={}, @channel=#<Cabin::Channel:0x42281538 ...>>, @subscriber_lock=#<Mutex:0x13d630fc>, @level=:debug, @subscribers={12694=>#<Cabin::Outputs::IO:0x735578ca @io=#<File:/var/log/logstash/logstash.log>, @lock=#<Mutex:0x17f080fe>>}, @data={}>, @last_flush=2015-12-28 11:36:42 -0500, @flush_interval=1, @stopping=#<Concurrent::AtomicBoolean:0x3583132c>, @buffer=[], @flush_thread=#<Thread:0xf5fcdd9 run>>", :interval=>1, :level=>:info, :file=>"logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/buffer.rb", :line=>"90", :method=>"interval_flush"}

Does anyone have any idea's on where to goto next?

if it helps here is the current status of the ES2 via the API:

Hi Philip, How this was resolved?
