I need to setup a cluster for a legacy system which requires version 1.7 on GCE. I've setup two instances and installed the GCE discovery plugin according to docs ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-gce/tree/v2.7.0/#version-270-for-elasticsearch-17](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-cloud-gce/tree/v2.7.0/#version-270-for-elasticsearch-17)) but they don't see each other.  
All I see in logs (set to TRACE) is this:

[2018-01-12 14:06:42,696][TRACE][discovery.gce] [Gravity] starting to ping  
[2018-01-12 14:06:45,697][TRACE][discovery.gce] [Gravity] full ping responses: {none}  
[2018-01-12 14:06:45,697][DEBUG][discovery.gce] [Gravity] filtered ping responses: (filter\_client[true], filter\_data[false]) {none}

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

The solution to the problem was using earlier version of the plugin. Versions above 2.5 don't work.  
Hope it will be useful for someone else.
