In your elasticsearch.yml, you probably have a line that looks like this: cluster.name:"some-elasticsearch-cluster-name" Put space between : and ", so it looks like this: cluster.name: "some-elasticsearch-cluster-name" If this doesn't help, please post your elasticsearch.yml file as Rafał has already suggested.

Hi Rafal/Igor, Thanks for the suggestion it worked by reinstalling the instance again with the old elasticsearch.yml.
