Thanks. I'm utterly baffled right now:

```

These two messages are saying that the local node called `d-gp2-kyles-1` doesn't match the `d-gp2-kyles-1` in `cluster.initial_master_nodes`. As far as I can tell they're byte-for-byte equal, although one of them was typed directly into the config file and the other comes from the environment. Could you try setting `node.name: d-gp2-kyles-1` explicitly in `elasticsearch.yml` instead of using `${HOSTNAME}` so that they both come from the same place?

You can lose `logger.org.elasticsearch.discovery: TRACE` too, at least until we work out what the `ClusterBootstrapService` is struggling with.
