I am turning on a single node instance (master+data) and trying to use logstash and I see this error: log4j, [2014-05-08T16:11:05.571] ERROR: org.elasticsearch.gateway.local.state.meta: [logstash-ip-10-169-36-251-5993-4082] failed to read local state, exiting... org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchIllegalStateException: node is not configured to store local location This is my elasticsearch.yml: cluster.name: elasticsearchtest node.name: "node1" node.master: true node.data: true index.number\_of\_replicas: 0 Any idea ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I get the error while running logstash I tried 127.0.0.1 , "localhost" , and it still throws same error ; the weird thing is that if I use elasticsearch in the input{} block ; logstash is able to read from it.
