What runs on port 9200

The Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Security considerations

Unauthenticated Elasticsearch clusters have caused some of the largest data leaks on record. Enable security and bind privately.

Checking whether something is listening

# Linux / macOS — what is bound to the port
sudo lsof -i :9200
sudo ss -lntp | grep :9200

# Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :9200
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9200

# is it reachable from outside?
nc -zv example.com 9200
curl -v telnet://example.com:9200

Freeing the port

# find the process, then stop it
sudo lsof -ti :9200 | xargs kill        # Linux / macOS
netstat -ano | findstr :9200            # note the PID, then:
taskkill /PID <pid> /F                    # Windows
