i installed cloud gce plugin for elasticsearch 2.0 (sudo bin/plugin install cloud-gce). but it is not started even if just set gce for network.host. No logs were found for this case. i use debian and elastic is started as service.

Failed To start elasticsearch with GCE cloud plugin

I checked it and actually _gce_ is only available if you are using gce discovery.

Which means that you need to have:

cloud.gce.project_id: YOUR_GCE_PROJECT
cloud.gce.zone: YOUR_ZONE
discovery.type: gce
