Hi, I would like to configure the Elastic Search for multiple nodes **but only when 2 nodes running from 3 nodes, then the localhost can be accessed** I have tried: 1. node.name: node-3 (in folder node2 then node-2, etc) 2. network.host: localhost 3. http.port: 9203 (in folder node2 then 9202, etc) 4. discovery.seed\_hosts: ["127.0.0.1"] But when I run the 9201, it works. its not error. why? ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Are you trying to do this all on a single host, or different hosts? ---
