Hi, I am new to Elastic search. I have gone through the documentations and was able to setup a cluster as below: My ES cluster consists of 2 nodes, both are master eligible and data nodes, both located in 2 different Azure VMs. So Is it possible to query ES from my .net client application which is located in a 3rd Azure VM where i don't want to setup any ES nodes. I can’t find any documentation which says this scenario is possible. I tried to set network.bind\_host to my client application's ip-address but the node refused to start. network.bind\_host: ["10.0.1.6", _local_] network.publish\_host: ["10.0.1.4"] discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["10.0.1.4", "10.0.1.5"] 10.0.1.4 - master node of the cluster 10.0.1.6 - server where my client application resides How can i query without setting up a node in 10.0.1.6?? Note: I am using ES 6.0 and hosted them as windows service. Please advise !! ---
