Hello Team, I have installed elastic version 8.5.2 on three node cluster, it runs good. when I take down down node 2 (master -2), cluster is up and running with other two nodes. when I take down down node 3 (master -3), cluster is up and running with other two nodes. but when I take down down node 1 (master -1), elasitc cluster is down with below error on Kibana. `{"statusCode":503,"error":"Service Unavailable","message":"License is not available."}` Please find the elastic configuration below. ```auto cluster.name: dataseers-3-0 path.data: /home/elasticsearch path.logs: /home/logs/elasticsearch network.host: ["127.0.0.1","10.XX.XX.XXX","localhost"] network.bind_host : 10.XX.XX.XXX http.port: 9200 discovery.seed_hosts: ["10.XX.X.XX","10.XX.X.XX","10.XX.X.XX"] cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["master-1","master-2", "master-3"] xpack.security.enabled: true xpack.security.enrollment.enabled: true xpack.security.http.ssl: enabled: true keystore.path: certs/http.p12 xpack.security.transport.ssl: enabled: true verification_mode: certificate keystore.path: certs/transport.p12 truststore.path: certs/transport.p12 http.host: 0.0.0.0 transport.host: 0.0.0.0 ``` It would be great if you guys can help me on this, Thanks. looking forward. ---

Hello, I see no issue in your `kibana.yml`, all your 3 nodes are listed in `elasticsearch.hosts`, so Kibana should try another node when your master is down, which seems to be the issue. Did this work after you give some time for your cluster to elect a new master? If it this keep happening you will need to share the logs of your nodes when you take one down. ---
