Hi,  
We configured elastic cluster as follow:  
server 1+2+3:  
node.master: true  
node.data: true  
server 4+5: (client node)  
node.master: false  
node.data:false

We configured a virtual ip in f5 that redirect to server 4+5 with port 5601  
This is for the kibana login  
but what about the insert data?  
I dont know which servers to configure with port 9200 - the clients servers (4+5) or the cluster servers (1+2+3)

Use the client nodes for ingestion.
