Hello - I set the following property in elasticsearch.yml and restarted elastic search. _discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false_ After restarting, i still see two UDP packets going out to the multicast address 224.2.2.4. How to disable this? please advise. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
