Hi there, I am new to elastic search but I am really exited and looking forward to use it to make cool things. Unfortunately so far I have been struggling a bit, I hope I can get some help to get started. I have just installed elastic 2.0.0 on two laptops. Mac and ubuntu. In the elastic config file I have set up the following: -cluster name -node name -discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts with each other ip address But it seems that they don't join the same cluster. They each individually create their own cluster locally. If I use kibana/sense GET \_nodes/stats, each laptop has his own one node cluster. I tried to set as well network.host: with the LAN ip address, but if I do so, Kibana is not able to connect to the elastic server, even if I change in the kibana config file the address from 127.0.0.1 to the LAN ip. Please help. Thank you. ---

[SOLVED] The clusters are actually joining with the option network.host. Kibana was not able to connect because I had to set up a further option "elastic search.url" Sorry for the spam. Hop this will help other people. Thanks ---
