elasticsearch listen to multiple ips

Question

Is it possible to listen to multiple host adresses so that I can listen to localhost requests AND private IP requests?

something like:

network.host: \"12         


        

Answer 1

I tested the given solution and it did not work. I concluded that Elastic cannot listen on specific interfaces using network.bind_host in the configuration.

However you can tell elastic to listen on all interfaces by specifying:

network.bind_host: 0.0.0.0
network.publish_host: <your external address>

This will make sure one address is published (to the cluster) but all addresses are accessible. Tested and verified with Elastic 2.1.1.

Answer 2

network.host: [  _site_ , _local_ , _global_ ]

• _local_ : Any loopback addresses
• _site_ : Any local (internal) addresses
• _global_: Any external IP

you can instead specify network interface name like [ _eth0_ , _lo_ ]

Answer 3

In fact yes it is. Use the JSON notation.

This is what I used in my configuration: network.bind_host: ["yourhost", "localhost"] and network.publish_host: yourhost as you don't want to send multicast packets on the loopback interface.
