I am having a real tricky time getting the simplest of nodes running. I have the following two configs ( they were copied from another cluster running in the company and the appropriate parts changed ) # node 1 [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): "es-bigdata" network.host: [myfqdn1.co.uk](http://myfqdn1.co.uk) http.port: 9200 transport.tcp.port: 9300 [node.name](http://node.name): ${HOSTNAME}-UAT path.data: "/local/portfolio-apps/elastic/elasticdata" path.logs: "/local/portfolio-apps/elastic/elasticlogs" discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["[myfqdn1.co.uk:9300](http://myfqdn1.co.uk:9300)", "[myfqdn2.co.uk:9300](http://myfqdn2.co.uk:9300)"] # node 2 [cluster.name](http://cluster.name): "es-bigdata" network.host: [myfqdn2.co.uk](http://myfqdn2.co.uk) http.port: 9200 transport.tcp.port:9300 [node.name](http://node.name): ${HOSTNAME}-UAT path.data: "/local/portfolio-apps/elastic/elasticdata" path.logs: "/local/portfolio-apps/elastic/elasticlogs" discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["[myfqdn1.co.uk:9300](http://myfqdn1.co.uk:9300)", "[myfqdn2.co.uk:9300](http://myfqdn2.co.uk:9300)"] I keep getting bound or publishing to a non-loopback or non-link-local address, enforcing bootstrap checks getting the standard loop back error This is my first foray with ES and it has not been pleasant . Have I missed something in the above configs . I see the 9200 and 9300 increment by one for every node in the cluster and also stay the same . Is there a good doc / guideline on this any pointers welcome hmb I ---

It looks pretty readable as is . if you have nothing to contribute then don't add to the chatter . ---
