How do I shut off this message? I'm using the fully open-source version of ES 7.5.2:  
[2020-02-20T00:22:18,086][INFO][o.e.x.m.e.l.LocalExporter] [coordinator6] waiting for elected master node [{master1}{68sPQmYrRdW60YXSGUeT2w}{q1O7KyfyQyyait5ZuC\_ckA}{172.31.1.13}{172.31.1.13:9300}{ml.machine\_memory=2090577920, ml.max\_open\_jobs=20, xpack.installed=true, ml.enabled=true, zone=primary}] to setup local exporter [default\_local] (does it have x-pack installed?)

The version you're using is past [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol), you should upgrade to a supported version. More recent versions don't emit this message.
