Hello everyone! I would like to set up an ES cluster consisting of three nodes, i.e. my local machine ('localhost') and two virtual machines in a remote network ('host1' and 'host2') For each of them, I have this very simple elasticsearch.yml: ``` network.host: 0.0.0.0 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["localhost","host1","host2"] ``` The two remote nodes are already seeing each other: ``` curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty' { "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "status" : "green", "timed_out" : false, "number_of_nodes" : 2, "number_of_data_nodes" : 2, "active_primary_shards" : 15, "active_shards" : 30, "relocating_shards" : 0, "initializing_shards" : 0, "unassigned_shards" : 0, "delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0, "number_of_pending_tasks" : 0, "number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0, "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0, "active_shards_percent_as_number" : 100.0 } ``` Now, what I would like to do is to make my local machine to also see these nodes and be seen by them, hence having finally a 3 nodes cluster. I assume that I am missing a parameter in my elasticsearch.yml file in order to do that. Obviously, I will also have to connect my local machine to one of the nodes with an ssh and port forwarding, maybe like this: `ssh -L 9301:localhost:9300 root@host1` What am I missing? Thank you for your help! ---

You might have forgotten to set `network.host` on your local machine? ---

No, it is set on all three machines. ---

Your port is `9301` but this: ``` discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts:["130.183.2.90","130.183.209.36","130.183.198.13","130.183.198.14"] ``` Means actually: ``` discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts:["130.183.2.90:9300","130.183.209.36:9300","130.183.198.13:9300","130.183.198.14:9300"] ``` So change with: ``` discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts:["130.183.2.90:9301","130.183.209.36:9301","130.183.198.13:9301","130.183.198.14:9301"] ``` ---

Hi @Maxclac Why do you want to forward those ports ? Access them from outside of your local network ? (WAN) ---
