Hello,
I triing to install elastic as cluster on three environments, where previuosly was installed and working.
i have a elasticsearch 7.8.1 zip package and this i have put and extracted on three machines (im in Windows ) and i set the same elasticsearch.yml file for all three nodes as:
```auto
cluster.name: elk-elastic-cluster
node.name: elk-elastic-cluster-node-1
path.data: G:\elasticsearch\data
path.logs: G:\elasticsearch\logs
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.port: 9200
discovery.seed_hosts: ["pod-elk-006", "pod-elk-007", "pod-elk-008"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["elk-elastic-cluster-node-1", "elk-elastic-cluster-node-2", "elk-elastic-cluster-node-3"]
logger.org.elasticsearch.discovery: TRACE
logger.org.elasticsearch.cluster.coordination: TRACE
```
when i start elastic on every machines i have in the log of first node:
```auto
