This is my ES config for discovery. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Tried uncommenting the aws region but that did not work as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
```
discovery.zen.hosts_provider: ec2
discovery.ec2.host_type: private_ip
discovery.zen.ping_timeout: 5s
#cloud.aws.region: us-west-2
discovery.ec2.tag.Role: prod-es
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
curl -XGET 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true'
{
"cluster_name" : "prod-es",
"status" : "yellow",
"timed_out" : false,
"number_of_nodes" : 1,
"number_of_data_nodes" : 1,
"active_primary_shards" : 45,
"active_shards" : 45,
"relocating_shards" : 0,
"initializing_shards" : 0,
"unassigned_shards" : 45,
"delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0,
"number_of_pending_tasks" : 0,
"number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0,
"task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0,
"active_shards_percent_as_number" : 50.0}

You need to configure the [endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/_settings.html).
Something probably like:
```auto
discovery.ec2.endpoint: ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
```

Thanks @dadoonet We also had to add `network.host: 0.0.0.0`
It worked
