The Events Service port 9200 is disabled by default. This port is used for debugging purposes and will need to be turned on while troubleshooting.
Note: After the debugging session is done, remember to disable the property and restart the Events Service to avoid exposure security vulnerabilities
Example
Using the following commands to find the status of shards/indices:
curl http://localhost:9200/_cat/shards?v
