cluster like that

NODE 1:

[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): mycluster  
[node.name](http://node.name): "node1"  
node.master: true  
node.data: true  
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.0.71"]  
transport.tcp.port: 9301  
http.port: 9201

marvel.agent.exporters:  
id1:  
type: http  
host: ["[http://192.168.0.71:9302](http://192.168.0.71:9302)"]

NODE 2

[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): mycluster  
[node.name](http://node.name): "node2"  
node.master: true  
node.data: true  
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.0.71"]  
transport.tcp.port: 9302

Try with port `9300` instead.

There's two things wrong here:

1. You are setting up the HTTP exporter to send to the opposite node that is going to join the same cluster.

2. You are using the HTTP exporter with the Transport port(s). Use the appropriate HTTP (9201 and 9202).

Hope that helps.
