Hi,

I am wondering what should the below settings be on a three node cluster in the 'elasticsearch.yml' file.

node.name: Node1  
node.master:  
node.data:  
discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes:

node.name: Node2  
node.master:  
node.data:  
discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes:

node.name: Node3  
node.master:  
node.data:  
discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes:

Also, Do I need to configure the Authentication realm in all three nodes 'elasticsearch.yml' config file.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,  
Anand

Have a read of [Important Elasticsearch configuration | Elasticsearch Reference [6.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/important-settings.html)

Do you have a realm setup? If so, yes.

Hi Mark,

I have read the information in the above links, however it doesn't say anything about the above settings that I need to set in my config file.

In regards to setting the Authentication realm, I can it up on the other nodes, however I don't have kibana on the other ones.

Regards,

Can someone please verify out elasticstack setup with three nodes? We have got platinum support.
