I am trying to install an instance of elasticsearch and I am using the following config file:

```
cluster.name: elasticsearch
node.name: hostname
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
network.host: [_eth0_, _local_]
discovery.seed_hosts: ["hostname"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["hostname"]
node.master: true
node.data: true
node.ingest: true
node.ml: false

```

When I start my service, it seems to start but I get the following logs in my elasticsearch.log and the service restarts:

This settings were working on my 7.3 version. Has anything changed? Am I missing something?
