Hi Ganesh2303, If you do the following what do you get: curl -XGET [http://xxxx:9200/](http://xxxx:9200/) -\> this gives you details on your ES cluster Or using postman or any tool or even curl curl -XGET [http://xxxx:9200/\_cluster/health](http://xxxx:9200/_cluster/health) -\> this gives you more details on your ES cluster, for instance number of nodes, etc. This is a start to see if your ES cluster is configured correctly. Hope it helps ---

@rulanitee please find the reply of the above command which you mentioned, curl -XGET [http://xxxx:9200](http://xxxx:9200) ``` { "name" : "node1", "cluster_name" : "sub_prod_cluster", "cluster_uuid" : "_na_", "version" : { "number" : "5.2.1", "build_hash" : "db0d481", "build_date" : "2017-02-09T22:05:32.386Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "6.4.1" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ``` curl -XGET [http://xxxxx:9200/\_cluster/health](http://xxxxx:9200/_cluster/health) `{"cluster_name":"sub_prod_cluster","status":"red","timed_out":false,"number_of_nodes":1,"number_of_data_nodes":1,"active_primary_shards":0,"active_shards":0,"relocating_shards":0,"initializing_shards":0,"unassigned_shards":0,"delayed_unassigned_shards":0,"number_of_pending_tasks":0,"number_of_in_flight_fetch":0,"task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis":0,"active_shards_percent_as_number":"NaN"}` ---

Hi Ganesh, Thanks for the response. If I am not mistaken, this is a cluster with just one node. Can you do the following in the elasticsearch.yml config: node.local=true restart elasticsearch service and check the health again. You can check here for more info: > Hope it works ---

Sorry for late reply when i try with node.local: true i faced issue to startup elastisearch itself, ``` in 'reader', line 53, column 1: node.local= true ^ could not find expected ':' in 'reader', line 54, column 1: # You can exploit these settings ... ^ ]; Likely root cause: while scanning a simple key in 'reader', line 53, column 1: node.local= true ^ could not find expected ':' in 'reader', line 54, column 1: # You can exploit these settings ... ``` And one more thing now i started with cluster eventhough its showing same error in kibana. Is that any setting have set false for xpack, bcoz i read one article by default it was set to true am i wrong mean please correct me ---

Hi Ganesh, If you are still having issues, can you try the following: restart elasticsearch check the logs and see if all is good -\> /var/log/elasticsearch/your\_cluster\_name.log and /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log Let me know if there is an error or issue logged Regards ---
