> Hello everyone! I would like to set up an ES cluster consisting of three nodes, i.e. my local machine ('localhost') and two virtual machines in a remote network ('host1' and 'host2') For each of them, I have this very simple elasticsearch.yml: network.host: 0.0.0.0 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["localhost","host1","host2"] The two remote nodes are already seeing each other: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty' { "cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch", "status" : "green"…
the answer is:
transport.publish\_host: localhost
