Hi,
I have setup a 3 node elasticsearch cluster with setting;
```
node.master: true
node.data: true
```
I have 3 IPs `192.168.0.1`, `192.168.0.2` and `192.168.0.3`, and the ports allocated for elasticsearch are `9200`, `9210` and `9220` respectively. I have configured elasticsearch in my `kibana.yml` like;
```
elasticsearch.url: "http://192.168.0.1:9200"
```
I would like to know if its possible to configure an array of IP and ports like;
```
elasticsearch.url: ["http://192.168.0.1:9200","http://192.168.0.2:9210","http://192.168.0.3:9220"]
```
This is because, it is fine if the first node to up is `192.168.0.1` and what if the first node to come alive is `192.168.0.2` and `192.168.0.1` is down? In this situation, kibana wont get response from `192.168.0.1` right? Or if there is something like `192.168.0.1` is down and unable to get up, and other nodes are alive? What I want is something like, I want to use kibana, no matter which elasticsearch node is up. Is this possible?
Thanks.

Currently specifying multiple Elasticseach nodes is not supported. There is currently a ticket for this and we hope to address it soon. Feel free to subscript for future updates: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/214](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/214)
One option is to put the nodes behind a load balancer.
