How to add a new node to existing cluster

Hi, i want to add a new to the existing cluster. I already setup a new elasticsearch on another vm and named it as node-2. My first elasticsearch named it as node-1. Already configured both of it and restart the elasticsearch services and seems fine and no error. But, when I go to kibana dashboard, my secondary node didn't show up. Can someone guide me for this issue.

Here's my node-1 elasticsearch.yml file:

======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================

NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.

Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you

understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.

The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists

the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.

Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html

---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------

Use a descriptive name for your cluster:

#cluster.name: my-application
cluster.name: mycluster

------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------

Use a descriptive name for the node:

#node.name: node-1
node.name: node-1

Add custom attributes to the node:

#node.attr.rack: r1
node.attr.rack: r1

----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------

Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):

path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch

Path to log files:

path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------

Lock the memory on startup:

#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
bootstrap.memory_lock: true

Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available

on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this

limit.

Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.

---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------

Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):

#network.host: 192.168.0.1
network.host: 192.168.19.195

Set a custom port for HTTP:

#http.port: 9200

For more information, consult the network module documentation.

--------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------

Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:

The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

#discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
discovery.seed_hosts: ["192.168.19.107"]

Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:

#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1"]

For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.

---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------

Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:

#gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3

For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.

---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------

Require explicit names when deleting indices:

#action.destructive_requires_name: true

And here's my node-2 elasticsearch.yml file:

#action.destructive_requires_name: true

Please format your snippets properly using markdown, which this forum supports. The above is pretty much unreadable. Also, ony include the relevant parts and not all the commented out lines, as this makes it super hard to find the actual configuration.

Lastly, if you are not providing log files from the node that is supposed to join the cluster, debugging is next to impossible. Those usually contains some clues that other members of the forum can look after.

Also providing the elasticsearch version that you are trying to run would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi spinscale. Sorry about that. Here's my yml config file for both nodes.

node-1
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
#discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
discovery.seed_hosts: ["192.168.19.107"]
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1"]

node-2
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
discovery.seed_hosts: ["192.168.19.195"]
#
# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1"]

none of those nodes seems to listed on an external network interface, also the logfiles should be provided as well.

Thanks!
