We have three elasticsearch boxes: In the three boxes:

1. Master
2. Data
3. Search Load Balancer
4. Kibana
5. Logstash

is configured in all the three. I have been trying to configure Sheild and everything smooth and I even able to access the indices in secured fashion. But I have lot of marvel related errors in both master and data log files.

I have configured the following for marvel in search load balancer in all three boxes, do I need to do the same in master and data nodes as well?

Note: I don't see any marvel errors in SLB log file.

marvel.agent.exporters:  
id1:  
type: http  
host: ["https://IP\_ES1:9200","https://IP\_ES2:9200","https://IP\_ES3:9200"]

```
auth:
  username: marvel
  password: marvelPass

ssl:
  truststore.path: /etc/elasticsearch_search/truststore.jks
  truststore.password: marvelTrustPass

```

I'm confused.. since SLB is listening for ES\_Data on 9200 port, it sounds sense configuring the above in SLB, but then how could I avoid errors in both master and data if I shouldn't configure the above setting in those two nodes?

The error is:

[2016-08-09 09:12:17,735][ERROR][marvel.agent] [master\_elk\_IP\_ES2] background thread had an uncaught exception  
ElasticsearchException[failed to flush exporter bulks]

Someone please help me.
