I have two elasticsearch nodes and for one of them, I moved the the /var/lib/elasticsearch folder to a mount with more storage. I chown'd an elasticsearch user and changed the path.data in the elasticsearch.yml file and everything worked fine with that node. However, Kibana and my other elasticsearch node are unable to connect and I am getting the below errors in the log data: Kibana: > Aug 10 10:11:58 _server_ kibana[3136]: FATAL Error: [config validation of [elasticsearch].hosts]: types that failed validation: > Aug 10 10:11:58 _server_ kibana[3136]: - [config validation of [elasticsearch].hosts.0]: expected value of type [string] but got [Array]. > Aug 10 10:11:58 _server_ kibana[3136]: - [config validation of [elasticsearch].hosts.1.1]: expected URI with scheme [http|https]. > Aug 10 10:12:00 _server_ systemd[1]: kibana.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE > Aug 10 10:12:00 _server_ systemd[1]: Unit kibana.service entered failed state. > Aug 10 10:12:00 _server_ systemd[1]: kibana.service failed.

Here are my kibana.yml settings: > server.host: "0.0.0.0" > server.name: "_SERVER NAME_" > elasticsearch.hosts: ["[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)", "_Other elasticsearch node_"] This set up was working fine before I moved the directory ---

I still can't seem to figure this error out. Any update on how I can fix this? ---
