Hello,

I wanted to have a cluster formation where one node in AWS (EC2 instance) and the other node in a local server with public IP assigned. I have installed Elasticsearch-7.4.0 on both servers (Ubuntu server).

Local node configuration:

> cluster.name: Fosholi  
> node.name: node-local  
> path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch  
> path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch  
> network.host: 0.0.0.0  
> http.port: 9200  
> discovery.seed\_hosts: ["119.148.3.138:9300", "3.1.42.87:9300"]  
> cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["node-local", "node-aws"]

AWS node configuration:

> cluster.name: Fosholi  
> node.name: node-aws  
> path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch  
> path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch  
> network.host: 0.0.0.0  
> http.port: 9200  
> discovery.seed\_hosts: ["119.148.3.138:9300", "3.1.42.87:9300"]  
> cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["node-local", "node-aws"]

- Both nodes are running fine but they are not finding each other.
- 9200 and 9300 ports are open. Can ping from each other.
- 119.148.3.138 is the local server and 3.1.42.87 is AWS

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Thanks in advance.
