i am trying creating ELK cluster but getting confusion at 1 point

how exactly these below parameter should be filled?

# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------

# 

# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):

# 

#network.host: 192.168.0.1

# 

# Set a custom port for HTTP:

# 

#http.port: 9200

# 

# For more information, consult the network module documentation.

# 

# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------

# 

# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# 

#discovery.seed\_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]

# 

# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:

# 

#cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]

# 

# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.

please let me know if any further info required.  
trying it for POC

can you be more exact what your question is? There is a comment in front of the setting and there is the documentation at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-hosts-providers.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-hosts-providers.html) - but there still seems to be missing something, and I'm interested in what that is 🙂

Also, please make use of markdown for snippets formatting in this forum, it makes posts with config or code snippets much more readable. thx!
