elasticsearch listen to multiple ips

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: "127.0.0.1", "192.168.1.4"

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_ ]

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.

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.
