Hi, I had a problem I was able to figure out, but I don't understanding why, yet.

All versions, ES, Kibana, Java Client, w/ latest version (8.4)

I followed the instructions [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html) in order to run elasticsearch and kibana w/ docker-compose.

I was used to using Sniffer from previous projects (but those were bare metal installations, w/o docker or any other virtualization). So therefore I configured Sniffer as described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/_usage.html). In order to work properly I had to adapt the `compose.yml` file adding environment entry `http.publish_host=es0{1,2,3}` respectively. Furthermore, I had to use the `ElasticsearchNodesSniffer` in order to support `https`.

At that moment everything seems to work fine, my java service is configuring the cluster by installing component and index templates etc.

BUT - health check `_cluster/health/` did not work, at least not on hosts `es02` and `es03`, where I received log messages for the respective nodes like:  
`authentication of elastic was terminated by realm reserved`, or `system_critical_read`. but, as I said, for all nodes except `es01`.

Then I disabled sniffing, and everything works fine.

So, my questions now are:

- Why is the request `_cluster/health/` not working on the other nodes?
- Why is login not allowed on the other nodes?

Thanks in advance for your elaborations
