Elasticsearch 7, 3 nodes cluster setup, 1 failed to join

I tried to configure a cluster with 3 nodes on GCP.

2 nodes join the same cluster (same UUID), 1 nodes fail to join.

Here's my nodes configuration:

    cluster.name: rdy-elastic
    node.name: rdy-elastic2
    network.host: _site_
    discovery.seed_hosts:
        - 10.148.0.25
        - 10.148.0.26
        - 10.148.0.28
    cluster.initial_master_nodes:
        - 10.148.0.25
        - 10.148.0.26
        - 10.148.0.28
    xpack.security.enabled: true

Here's the cluster created:

    curl -XGET  10.148.0.26:9200/_cat/nodes
    10.148.0.28 7 95 6 0.00 0.03 0.05 mdi * rdy-elastic5
    10.148.0.26 7 96 6 0.00 0.01 0.01 mdi - rdy-elastic3
    10.148.0.25                       mdi - rdy-elastic2

Here's the node rdy-elastic2 logs:

Sorry for the 1st post.

What did I do wrong?
Thank you.

This is telling us that rdy-elastic2 is trying to join the master node rdy-elastic5, but rdy-elastic5 failed to connect back to rdy-elastic2 for some reason. Perhaps this is a networking issue? It'd help to see the corresponding logs from the master.

Could you use the </> button to format your logs like I've done above? It makes it much easier to read them, which makes it much more likely you'll get an answer to your question.

Thank you for your instant reply.

Yes I'll try to format it correctly

Does this chunk of log helps?

I installed fresh elasticsearch on GCP (Java 8, Elasticsearch, no Nginx / UFW), set the same configuration, start one node give some interval before starting the next nodes.

Again, sorry, I couldn't comprehend what did I do wrong?

Thanks, that's helpful.

These four lines tell us that rdy-elastic2 did actually manage to join the cluster, but then rdy-elastic5 sent it a stats request and rdy-elastic2 rejected it due to missing authentication credentials. It sounds like there's some kind of mismatch in their respective security configurations.

It turns out that I did extra enter whitespace. After I delete that, clustering is working fine.

Just one more case.

I tried to add data node, with identical configuration:

cluster.name: rdy-elastic
node.name: rdy-elastic4
network.host: _site_
discovery.seed_hosts:
        - 10.148.0.25
        - 10.148.0.26
        - 10.148.0.28
xpack.security.enabled: true
node.master: false
node.data: true
node.ingest: false

But it failed joining the cluster, here's the log:

What did I do wrong?

And this is the cluster:

curl -XGET  10.148.0.25:9200/_cat/nodes
10.148.0.26 10 94 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 mdi - rdy-elastic3
10.148.0.25 13 95 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 mdi * rdy-elastic2
10.148.0.28  7 94 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 mdi - rdy-elastic5

rdy-elastic4 managed to connect to rdy-elastic2 but rdy-elastic2 cannot connect back to rdy-elastic4. The connection is timing out. Sometimes this is because the traffic is blocked by a firewall or other traffic filter.

Please help, I still couldn't found the solution, here are the logs:

Am I missing something, both are GCP Ubuntu 18.04 instance with no UFW / Nginx installed

Caused by: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSecurityException: missing authentication credentials for action [cluster:monitor/nodes/stats[n]]

This suggests there is still something wrong with your security configuration. Is security enabled on all nodes? Make sure the configs match.

Yes I set
xpack.security.enabled: true
For all of the nodes

The 3 node cluster went up successfully, I want to add 1 data node.
But the data node always failed to join.

At last, I successfully added new data node, what I do different is, I set all the nodes configuration to
xpack.security.enabled: false.

I'll try the true value next.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, I met the similar issue with ES 7.1.0. I have three nodes with the same configuration file. each two can form a cluster, when the third node join the cluster, the error are the same as you pasted.

BTW: the three node are in the same network and the firewalld is inactive on those three nodes.

my configuration is as below.

cluster.name: dev-es
node.name: es-01
network.host: 0.0.0.0
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts:
- 192.168.0.81
- 192.168.0.82
- 192.168.0.83
cluster.initial_master_nodes:
- 192.168.0.81
- 192.168.0.82
- 192.168.0.83
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: false
