You can find both log here: - [my-search-failed.log](https://the1bithusacommon.blob.core.windows.net/public/my-search-failed.log) - [my-search-success.log](https://the1bithusacommon.blob.core.windows.net/public/my-search-success.log) Nevertheless I am sure - to correct myself - the key here that fact if you would like to configure static (non-localhost) related settings at **network.host** you have to add one of them from **discovery.seed\_hosts, discovery.seed\_providers, cluster.initial\_master\_nodes**. I look forward to hearing from you. ---

Yes, this is by design, and documented. The fix is simply to set one of these settings (e.g. `discovery.seed_hosts: []`). That's quite different from setting `transport.host: _site_`, which I think has no effect on whether that bootstrap check passes or not. ---
