> [@Gayathri.Srivathsan](#): > > at least one of [discovery.seed\_hosts, discovery.seed\_providers, cluster.initial\_master\_nodes] must be configured This looks like a ES misconfiguration. The resolution is in the error message: [cdn.com/elastic/user\_avatar/discuss.elastic.co/alejandro\_bartolomeo/40/42054\_2.png](http://cdn.com/elastic/user_avatar/discuss.elastic.co/alejandro_bartolomeo/40/42054_2.png)) Alejandro\_Bartolomeo: > `at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured` In this case, I think it's enough to set `discovery.seed_hosts: []` . Thanks Rashmi ---

Thanks @rashmi Will check this. But it worked for me without changing this when I started again after a day. Not sure what was the reason . ---
