Forgive my ignormace I am still trying to wrap my brain around all of the idiosyncrasies of ELK. I have tried everything I can thing of to bring my cluster back online.

curl -XGET [http://p-es-2:9200/\_license](http://p-es-2:9200/_license)  
{  
"license" : {  
"status" : "expired",  
"uid" : "45dbdbcc-82a3-436f-b01d-4e645b73a078",  
"type" : "trial",  
"issue\_date" : "2016-04-28T18:45:02.261Z",  
"issue\_date\_in\_millis" : 1461869102261,  
"expiry\_date" : "2016-05-28T18:45:02.261Z",  
"expiry\_date\_in\_millis" : 1464461102261,  
"max\_nodes" : 1000,  
"issued\_to" : "Elasticsearch-Cluster-1",  
"issuer" : "elasticsearch"  
}  
}

Ive tried removing and re-installing the license plugin, rebooting on each of the 3 nodes in the cluster. I guess I dont have a clear understanding as to whats going on exactly. Anyone have any thoughts?

While trying to troubleshoot I have removed all plugins from all of my hosts. But initially it was Marvel and License

Can you check `/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins` and see if there is anything in there?

It definitely shouldn't be doing this, but I haven't seen this sort of thing.
