I have 3 node elasticsearch cluster
```auto
192.168.2.11 - node-01
192.168.2.12 - node-02
192.168.2.13 - node-03
```
and i deleted node-02 from cluster using this command
```auto
curl -XPUT 192.168.2.12:9200/_cluster/settings -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
"transient" :{
"cluster.routing.allocation.exclude._ip" : "192.168.2.12"
}
}'
```
and ok, all my indexes moved to node-01 and node-03, but how to return back this node to the cluster? i try this command
```auto
curl -XPUT 192.168.2.12:9200/_cluster/settings -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
"transient" :{
"cluster.routing.allocation.include._ip" : "192.168.2.12"
}
}'
```
but this doesn't works `:"node does not cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.include] filters [_ip:\"192.168.2.12\"]`

Sounds like you need to null out the exclude also if you didn't. Or you will be trying to include and exclude the same IP.
```auto
"transient" :{
"cluster.routing.allocation.exclude._ip" : null
}
```
