Elasticsearch on Azure virtual machine

Question

I have installed elasticsearch on Azure virtual machine. I have installed the elasticsearch service which which automatically starts on system start up.

Everything works fine on VM. I can access the 9200 port of elasticsearch instance.

The problem is I can not access it with the help of dns name of the virtual machine ie xyz.cloudapp.net:9200

I have created endpoints for 9200 and 9300 port.

I want the Elasticsearch on just one VM for now. Am I missing any steps?

Answer 1

The answer to my question is here. I needed to add the following to my Elasticsearch config file

network.host: [_local_, _site_]

This works like a charm.

This has been added in ElasticSearch since 2.xx version.

Thanks
