You can add this into elasticsearch.yml of your node `node.remote_cluster_client: false` ---

This is not possible. The HTTP interface is required on all nodes. ---

Thanks for replying @DavidTurner. But in the documentation, it has mentioned like, we can disable http . I am refering this document. > **[HTTP | Elasticsearch Reference \[6.8\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/modules-http.html)** ---

The docs you link are for a pretty old version in which the HTTP interface could be disabled. This feature was removed in [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/29601](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/29601). ---

Yes, I tried with 6.8.8 for master one , but my pod is not running. I am not getting any error. elastic-operator-0 1/1 Running 0 19h elasticsearch-config-es-data-ingest-0 1/1 Running 0 19h elasticsearch-config-es-master-0 0/1 Running 0 19h When I described the pod , I am getting as shown below: Warning Unhealthy 2m51s (x13844 over 19h) kubelet, gke-gtso-enter-gke-g-gtso-enter-gke-g-f4873fba-bexw (combined from similar events): Readiness probe failed: {"timestamp": "2020-09-16T05:20:46+0000", "message": "readiness probe failed", "curl\_rc": "7"} I already pasted logs in above comment. Any one has any idea, why it is like that ---

Ohh you didn't say you were running in containers. Http is required on all nodes there. ---
