It seems to me like it is an issue with the configuration, see:

[1]: the default discovery settings are unsuitable for production use; at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_provides, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured

[YoussefH (Youssef)]

so, how we can configure the parameters

See the following link for where to find the configuration file:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html#msi-command-line-options

And this link for a description of the discovery configuration:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.1/discovery-settings.html

Could you show your elasticsearch.yml configuration?
