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: "127.0.0.1", "192.168.1.4" 

Answer 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.
