Hi,

I am using the elasticsearch helm chart ([https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch)) to deploy to Kubernetes cluster.  
It fails to come up properly. I think it is due to the health check (via http) with its hostname.

I am just wondering if anyone has seen the same issue. Not sure how to debug the issue.

When I run "kubectl describe pods ..."

```

  test-es-master-vcqdc-test:

As your question is about Helm charts, you might have more luck by posting it to [https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch/](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch/) where other Helm users are most likely to see it.

This is the discussion forum for the Kubernetes operator -- which is a different way of orchestrating Elastic stack applications on Kubernetes.

Thanks. I will give it a try somewhere else.
