Troubleshooting

Problem	Description	Solution
Can't Access Web Interfaces	You cannot access elasticsearch or kibana through their web-interfaces.	Firstly, double check that the services are running: dynamite monitor process status. If they are, you may have a host based firewall enabled. By default, CentOS for example, enables firewalld service. You may need to modify the ACLs in order allow 9200 and 5601 accessible to outside hosts. Temporarily, you can disable firewalld via systemctl stop firwalld to verify this is the issue.
