Hello Team, Last time i checked the cluster health was on December, from that time no one monitored the servers and didn't check the cluster health. Last week when i tried to access kibana, encountered an error "Kibana service is not yet ready" then i checked all the services , my cluster health was RED!!!☹ Cluster details : Node A, Node B, Node C 3 Master eligible nodes + data nodes Kibana is hosted in Node C Below things tested, while troubleshooting the issue : **[https://Node](https://Node) A:9200/\_cat/nodes OR [https://Node](https://Node) B:9201/\_cat/nodes** - returns Node A and Node B , Node C is detached from cluster **telnet Node A 9200 - from Node C** - Connected **telnet Node A 9300 - from Node C** - Connected **telnet Node B 9201 - from Node C** - Connected **telnet Node B 9301 - from Node C** - Connected **telnet Node C 9202 - from Node A - Connected** **telnet Node C 9302 - from Node A - Connected** **telnet Node C 9202 - from Node B - Connected** **telnet Node C 9302 - from Node B - Connected** **curl "[https://Node](https://Node) A:9200" from Node B - Working** **curl "[https://Node](https://Node) B:9201" from Node A - Working** **curl "[https://Node](https://Node) A:9200" from Node C - Not Working** - curl(35) TCP Connection reset by **curl "[https://Node](https://Node) B:9201" from Node C - Not Working** - curl(35) TCP Connection reset by **curl "[https://Node](https://Node) C:9202" from Node A - Not Working** - Security exception **curl "[https://Node](https://Node) C:9202" from Node B - Not Working** - Security exception. _.security index is placed in some other node, Node C not able to fetch the authentication details_ I also tried to curl using insecure mode doubting problem with ssl certificates, but ended up with same problem. Changed the **ssl.verification.mode to none** and restarted all 3 instances , but no luck. There is a connectivity between these 3 servers, but Node 3 is not able to join the cluster and kibana complaining that **No Living Connection at** **[https://Node](https://Node) A:9200**. **[https://Node](https://Node) B:9201**.... really not getting the root cause!! Getting master\_not\_discovered exception from Node C , and FailedToCommitClusterStateException: node is no longer master for term 55 while handling publication error from Node B log. Can i get a private link to upload all my logs and configurations? that would help you for analysis. Thanks in Advance, Ramya ---

Sharing the full logs would be helpful 🙂 ---
