I am trying to add third node in my elasticsearch existing cluster, but is unable to do so. I have tried everything from uncommenting transport.host option and setting it to 0.0.0.0 also setting discovery.seed\_host to master-node IP but still its giving this error

Could you please share the uncommented entries from elasticsearch.yml in order to review further. Also on the 3 node which you want to add it should be using reconfigure command.
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node --enrollment-token

======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# [Elasticsearch Guide | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html)
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): my-application
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
#[node.name](http://node.name): node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory\_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# By default Elasticsearch is only accessible on localhost. Set a different
# address here to expose this node on the network:
#
#network.host: 192.168.0.1
#
# By default Elasticsearch listens for HTTP traffic on the first free port it
# finds starting at 9200. Set a specific HTTP port here:
#
#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: ["[196.1.111.61:9300](http://196.1.111.61:9300)"]
#
# 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.
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Allow wildcard deletion of indices:
#
#action.destructive\_requires\_name: false
this is my config file for Node-3 and i already ran this command of elasticsearch-reconfigure-node --enrollment token

Hello,
Thank you for the details. Below are the parameters should be uncommented :
cluster.name: \*\*\*\*\* (from my master or original running node)
node.name: node3
network.host: IP address of this host
http.port: 9200
transport.host: 0.0.0.0
discovery.seed\_hosts:
- 1.1.1.1
Thanks,

Thanks for the above reply!!! even after trying the above methods it is showing error that the master node is not reachable , i dont know if this is a bug or what because both the nodes are in the same subnet and even ports are opened and there is no firewall configuration applied.

Hello,
Seems some issue related as raised below :

Finally problem solved. I have reinstalled the elasticsearch by downloadinging its zip package, I think its a bug. Anyways thanks @Tortoise.
