I have elasticsearch running on EC2 (Fedora),

I am unable to connect externally using the public ip or hostname.

ElasticSearch starts correctly and I can access locally on the machine using: curl -XGET http://localhost:9200

{
  "name" : "Prodigy",
  "cluster_name" : "awstutorialseries",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "2.1.0",
    "build_hash" : "72cd1f1a3eee09505e036106146dc1949dc5dc87",
    "build_timestamp" : "2015-11-18T22:40:03Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "5.3.1"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

And I do follow all the steps explained here: elasticsearch on Ec2 cannot hit public IP(timeout)

like

  1. Do what TJ said in his comment, + restart the instance. I wasn't sure if this was/is necessary, but I did it for good measure.
  2. I made sure that the following is set in the elasticsearch.yml file: a. http.enabled: true b. http.cors.enabled: true c. http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
  3. Restarted elasticsearch (service elasticsearch restart)

I can connect kibanaenter image description here But I can't connect to elasticsearchenter image description here

my inbound and outbound are wide open for this instance:enter image description here enter image description here

this is my elasticsearch.yml file enter image description here

For EC2 you need to install the AWS Plugin that is provided by elasticsearch. Once plugin is installed, you need to generate secret-key and access-key from EC2. This link should help you generate the required keys. After this you need to configure following settings in your elasticsearch.yml : network.host: ec2,network.publish_host: "", discovery.type: ec2,cloud.aws.access_key: , cloud.aws.secret_key: ,discovery.ec2.groups: ,discovery.ec2.host_type: "public_ip", discovery.ec2.ping_timeout: "10s"

This should get you up and running. Connect from your client using the ip address of your machine.
