Elasticsearch Load balance with multiple nodes in same machine

[surajbs (Suraj)]

Hi,

I am trying to run multiple nodes with different instances in same machine for load balancing in elasticsearch.

I have downloaded three elasticsearch files in the same machine and configured their elasticsearch.yml file with different settings. Please see below:

• Elasticsearch - default configuration (http://localhost:9200/)

• Elasticsearch-node1
  cluster.name: Animals
  node.name: Snake
  node.master: true
  node.data: true
  path.data: "C:\elasticsearch-5.4.2-node1\elasticsearch-5.4.2\data"
  path.logs: "C:\elasticsearch-5.4.2-node1\elasticsearch-5.4.2\logs"
  http.port: 9201
  discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.1"]

• Elasticsearch-node2
  cluster.name: Animals
  node.name: Baboon
  node.master: false
  node.data: true
  path.data: "C:\elasticsearch-5.4.2-node2\elasticsearch-5.4.2\data"
  path.logs: "C:\elasticsearch-5.4.2-node2\elasticsearch-5.4.2\logs"
  http.port: 9202
  discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.1"]

FYI, the cluster health is "RED".

I am using logstash to load the csv file into elasticsearch, for which you can see the configuration below. But I am not able to see the other instances(9201 and 9202) loading the data.

output
{
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200", "localhost:9201", "localhost:9202"]
index => "cmss"
document_type => "cms"
document_id => "%{id}"
}
}

Please share your opinion and ideas on this.

Thank you.
