Pinging local host doesn't function - elasticsearch

elasticsearch==7.10.0
I wish to ping local host '5601' to ensure kibana is running or not but apparently unable to ping.
Note: I am aware that elastic search has in-built function to ping but I still wish to ping using cmd line for a specific reason in my project.
C:\User>ping 5601
Pinging f00:b00:f00:b00 with 32 bytes of data:
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
PING: transmit failed. General failure.

C:\User>ping http://localhost:5601
Ping request could not find host http://localhost:5601. Please check the name and try again.
Could someone help me?

You can use netstat to check if the port exposed by the Kibana UI, 5061 is in LISTEN mode
$ netstat -tlpn | grep 5601
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp6 0 0 :::5601 :::* LISTEN -
Or if you want to establish a connection to destination port 5601 you can use nc
$ nc -vz localhost 5601
Connection to localhost 5601 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

Unable to bind any program to IPv4 TCP port 80 on Mac [duplicate]

I have the following very simple docker-compose.yml, running on a Mac:
version: "3.7"
services:
apache:
image: httpd:2.4.41
ports:
- 80:80
I run docker-compose up, then I run this curl and Apache returns content:
/tmp/test $ curl -v http://localhost
* Trying ::1:80...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost
> User-Agent: curl/7.66.0
> Accept: */*
>
* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
However, if I try to access the container using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, I get connection refused:
/tmp/test $ curl -v http://127.0.0.1
* Trying 127.0.0.1:80...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connection failed
* connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80 failed: Connection refused
* Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80: Connection refused
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80: Connection refused
Localhost does point to 127.0.0.1:
/tmp/test $ ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
And netstat shows all local IP addresses port 80 to be forwarded:
/tmp/test $ netstat -tna | grep 80
...
tcp46 0 0 *.80 *.* LISTEN
...
I came to this actually trying to access the container using a custom domain I had on my /etc/hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1. I thought there was something wrong with that domain name, but then I tried 127.0.0.1 and didn't work either, so I'm concluding there is something very basic about docker I'm not doing right.
Why is curl http://localhost working but curl http://127.0.0.1 is not?
UPDATE
It seems localhost is resolving to IPv6 ::1, so port forwarding seems to be working on IPv6 but not IPv4 addresses. Does that make any sense?
UPDATE 2
I wasn't able to fix it, but pointing my domain name to ::1 instead of 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/hosts serves as a workaround for the time being.
UPDATE 3
8 months later I bumped into the same issue and found my own question here, still unanswered. But this time I can't apply the same workaround, because I need to bind the port forwarding to my IPv4 address so it can be accessed from other hosts.
Found the culprit: pfctl
AFAIK, pfctl is not supposed to run automatically but my /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.pfctl.plist said otherwise.
The Packet Filtering was configured to redirect all incoming traffic on port 80 to 8080, and 443 to 8443. And this is done without any process actually listening to port 80 and 443, that's why lsof and netstat wouldn't show anything,.
/Library/LaunchDaemons/it.winged.httpdfwd.plist has the following
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>sh</string>
<string>-c</string>
<string>echo "rdr pass proto tcp from any to any port {80,8080} -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080" | pfctl -a "com.apple/260.HttpFwdFirewall" -Ef - && echo "rdr pass proto tcp from any to any port {443,8443} -> 127.0.0.1 port 8443" | pfctl -a "com.apple/261.HttpFwdFirewall" -Ef - && sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
The solution was simply to listen on ports 8080 and 8443. All requests to ports 80 and 443 are now being redirected transparently.
While debugging this I found countless open questions about similar problems without answers. I hope this helps somebody.

Ruby application does not receive UDP packet from different host

Sending a UDP packet from Ruby client to Ruby server using the server address 192.168.1.30 works as expected, but only if client and server are on the same host. If the client runs on a different machine, the UDP packet finds its way to the server, but my server process won't notice.
Server:
require 'socket'
sock = UDPSocket.new()
sock.bind('', 8999)
p sock
while true do
p sock.recvfrom(2000)
end
sock.close
Client:
require 'socket'
sock = UDPSocket.new
p sock.send("foo", 0, "192.168.1.30", 8999)
sock.close
After starting the server, netstat -n --udp --listen approves that the socket is open:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8999 0.0.0.0:*
After running the client twice (on 192.168.1.30 and on .23), server output shows only one incoming packet, missing the one from 192.168.1.23:
#<UDPSocket:fd 7, AF_INET, 0.0.0.0, 8999>
["foo", ["AF_INET", 52187, "192.168.1.30", "192.168.1.30"]]
while Wireshark indicates that two packets were noticed
No Time Source Destination Proto Length Info
1 0.000000000 192.168.1.30 192.168.1.30 UDP 47 52187 → 8999 Len=3
2 2.804243569 192.168.1.23 192.168.1.30 UDP 62 39800 → 8999 Len=3
Which probably obvious detail am I missing?
Check if you have any firewall rules active:
sudo iptables -L
sudo ufw status

(OS X) Port in use, however it is not shown by netstat or lsof

Sorry for my english.
I was trying to forward port 80 from my vagrant box to host machine (OS X) and got this message
"The forwarded port to 80 is already in use on the host machine."
So, in order to figure out which program uses port 80 i ran this:
➜ ~ sudo lsof -n -i:80 | grep LISTEN
➜ ~
However, as you can see, it shows nothing.I have also tried netstat, but result was the same. Then i tried to use netcat + tcpdump to look at tcp session:
➜ ~ nc -vvv 127.0.0.1 80
Connection to 127.0.0.1 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
➜ ~
In another window:
➜ ~ sudo tcpdump -ni lo0 port 80
Password:
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on lo0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 65535 bytes
00:03:47.019805 IP 127.0.0.1.50666 > 127.0.0.1.80: Flags [S], seq 2187569264, win 65535, options [mss 16344,nop,wscale 4,nop,nop,TS val 194193524 ecr 0,sackOK,eol], length 0
00:03:47.019834 IP 127.0.0.1.80 > 127.0.0.1.50666: Flags [R.], seq 0, ack 2187569265, win 0, length 0
So it looks like the port is closed, because it immediately sent RESET flag, but why did nc show that connection was successful and lsof show nothing.
I'm really confused. Can anyone tell me what is going on, or what am i doing wrong?
I can provide additional information if needed.
Thanks!
Looks like that's firewall reset connection.
Turn off Avast WebShield if it exists.

How do I pick a random unassigned port on localhost

I am building an application and want to pick a random unassigned port above 1024 to host that application. How can I do that?
"Above 1024" you are indirectly referencing to know what ports can be used by server for listening.
Approx way :
if yes netstat -pant | grep "portno" if there is no output there is no server listening to this port and can be used.
If you try to bind to a used port you will get notable to bind error.

amazon ec2, cannot ping internal host

In amazon ec2, I have 2 instances in a placement group. First node is 172.31.12.76/20, second, 172.31.12.77/20 I can ssh both nodes from my pc. They share the same security group that has got these 2 rules:
Inbound rules:
Type Protocol Port Range Source
SSH TCP 22 0.0.0.0/0
All IMCP All N/A 0.0.0.0/0
(no outbound rules)
Both nodes see to each other in L2:
root#ip-172-31-12-76:~# arp
[...]
ip-172-31-12-77.eu-west ether 0a:ad:5e:e4:12:de C eth0
[...]
root#ip-172-31-12-77:~# arp
[...]
ip-172-31-12-76.eu-west ether 0a:34:a1:17:57:28 C eth0
[...]
iptables are empty on both nodes.
But ping does not work between each other
I have already checked a previous post:
EC2 instances not responding to internal ping
but it does not address the issue. It looks like there are no other similar posts.
Any idea? Thank you very much!
I got the answer; I need to also allow outbound icmp on each host in order to be able to ping both external and internal IPs.
