Hello All, I am working on an Elasticsearch installation on Azure with 3 Master nodes and 3 Data nodes. For some reason, the Master-1 node doesn't want seem to join the group. I'm not sure if it's always been this way or not. I did not install this but the Elasticsearch cluster keeps failing with all shards failed or some error msg like that. I'm not sure if this is the cause of the real issue or not but I see this in the log when Master-1 starts up:

[2019-05-14T21:36:50,210][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [ESPPmaster-1] starting ...

Thanks.
