I am attempting to set up an Elasticsearch cluster consisting of three master-eligible nodes.

elasticsearch.yml looks like this on all of the nodes:

```auto
cluster.name: elkdev
node.name: {machinename}.dev.company.local
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.port: 9200
node.master: false
node.data: true
node.ingest: false
discovery.seed_hosts: ["{node1name}.dev.company.local", "{node2name}.dev.company.local", "{node3name}.dev.company.local"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["{node1name}.dev.company.local"]
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

```

So, they all have the fully qualified host name as node.name, all of the fully qualified host names are included in discovery.seed\_hosts, and the fully qualified host name for the FIRST node is contained in cluster.initial\_master\_nodes for all of the nodes.

If I run `curl http://{node1name}.dev.company.local:9200/_xpack?pretty`, it looks like it is started up and running successfully. Maybe importantly, it contains license information:

```auto
  "license" : {
    "uid" : "8dd0486a-9f55-4c92-8711-2c32336a746c",
    "type" : "basic",
    "mode" : "basic",
    "status" : "active"
  },

```

If I run the same command for either of the other nodes, I get `"license": null` in the output.

On nodes 2 & 3, I see this error in the log:

```auto
[2021-09-07T09:54:08,288][WARN][r.suppressed] [{machinename}.dev.company.local] path: /logstash, params: {index=logstash}

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:832) [?:?]

```

If I run `journalctl -u kibana.service`, I see this kind of thing in the output:

`Sep 07 09:58:45 {machinename}.dev.company.local kibana[121433]: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-09-07T14:58:45Z","tags":["warning","savedobjects-service"],"pid":121433,"message":"Unable to connect to Elasticsearch. Error: Request Timeout after 30000ms"}`

I've been searching this forum and elsewhere for similar posts for a few days, and so far have not found a suggestion that works. Anyone have any ideas for further debugging?

Cheers,  
Joe

That's the reason. Is there more to the logs from that node?

This is from the same node (node 2).

In here, 10.xxx.xxx.xx1 is the IP of node 1 (the one that seems to be working), 10.xxx.xxx.xx2 is the IP of node 2 (the node that the log is from), and 10.xxx.xxx.xx3 is the IP of node 3 (the one that is behaving the same as node 2).

Oh, correction to my original post:

The first node is configured with this:

```auto
node.master: true
node.data: false

```

The other two nodes are configured as mentioned in the original post.

There aren't all currently set up with `node.master: true` because I thought that might be causing an issue.

Should they all have both `node.master: true` and `node.data: true` if I want them all to be master-eligible data nodes?

I tried a couple of things, including setting

```auto
node.master: true
node.data: true
node.ingest: true

```

On all of the nodes, but still no luck.

I made a change to the configuration to add all of the nodes to the initial master nodes list:

```auto
cluster.name: elkdev
node.name: node2name.dev.company.local
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.port: 9200
node.master: true
node.data: true
node.ingest: true
discovery.seed_hosts: ["node1name.dev.company.local", "node2name.dev.company.local", "node3name.dev.company.local"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node1name.dev.company.local", "node2name.dev.company.local", "node3name.dev.company.local"]
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

```

Still getting the null exceptions, here is the log from node 2 leading up to the first exception:
