Hello, I am trying to do a install test of elasticsearc 7.4 en RedHat. As configuration file elasticsearch.yml use: ```auto cluster.name: my-application node.name: node-1 path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch ``` I add down trace when create instance (./bin/elasticsearch) When I run 'healthy' (curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty'), I receive the error: 'master\_not\_discovered\_exception' Can anybody help me ? Thanks!! ```auto OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.

Hi Alejandro, > [@Alejandro\_Calvo](#): > > `an election requires two nodes with ids [DowReUd3TsG9AywBQNZLog, mhWP4YtsR_CafLNY8DlC0A], have discovered [{node-1}{mhWP4YtsR_CafLNY8DlC0A}{NXWeBlRxROGPj6Q1MCnbTg}{127.0.0.1}{127.0.0.1:9300}{dim}] which is not a quorum` At some point this node was part of a larger cluster, or at least it discovered another node with a different ID, so it can't safely start up alone. If this wasn't your intention then I suggest deleting the contents of your data path, `/var/lib/elasticsearch`, and trying again. Also please make sure your posts are formatted so as to be easy to read, using the `` button for logs etc. I've fixed this one for you. ---
