Hi,

We have installed and configured new 3 node ELK 7.0.1 cluster on Ubuntu.Two nodes joined but third node is not joining giving the following error.Are we doing something wrong here.

[2019-08-30T02:54:14,508][WARN][o.e.c.c.ClusterFormationFailureHelper] [cul-node-3] master not discovered yet, this node has not previously joined a bootstrapped (v7+) cluster, and this node must discover master-eligible nodes [cul-node-1, cul-node-2, cul-node-3] to bootstrap a cluster: have discovered ; discovery will continue using [192.168.203.128:9300, 192.168.203.129:9300] from hosts providers and [{cul-node-3}{rcmbMp-1Sji7HWNWu5vSXg}{K5VUqNaNReiZk3Z950esJg}{192.168.203.131}{192.168.203.131:9300}{ml.machine\_memory=4109115392, xpack.installed=true, ml.max\_open\_jobs=20}] from last-known cluster state; node term 0, last-accepted version 0 in term 0

Please find the elastic configuration

**# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================**  
**#**  
**# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.**  
**# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you**  
**# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.**  
**#**  
**# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists**  
**# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.**  
**#**  
**# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:**  
**# [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html)**

# 

**# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------**

# 

**# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:**

# 

cluster.name: cul-su-test

# 

**# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------**

# 

**# Use a descriptive name for the node:**

# 

node.name: cul-node-1

# 

**# Add custom attributes to the node:**

# 

#node.attr.rack: r1

# 

**# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------**  
**#**  
**# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):**  
**#**  
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch

# 

**# Path to log files:**

# 

path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch

# 

**# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------**

# 

**# Lock the memory on startup:**

# 

#bootstrap.memory\_lock: true

# 

**# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available**  
**# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this**  
**# limit.**  
**#**  
**# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.**

# 

**# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------**  
**#**  
**# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):**

# 

network.host: xx.xx.xx.xx

# 

**# Set a custom port for HTTP:**

# 

#http.port: 9200

# 

**# For more information, consult the network module documentation.**

# 

**# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------**  
**#**  
**# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:**  
**# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]**

# 

discovery.seed\_hosts: ["xx.xx.xx.xx", "xx.xx.xx.xx", "xx.xx.xx.xx"]

# 

**# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:**

# 

#discovery.seed\_providers: [""]  
cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["cul-node-1", "cul-node-2", "cul-node-3"]

# 

**# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.**

# 

**# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------**  
**#**  
**# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:**

# 

#gateway.recover\_after\_nodes: 3  
**#**  
**# For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.**  
**#**  
**# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------**  
**#**  
**# Require explicit names when deleting indices:**  
**#**  
#action.destructive\_requires\_name: true  
#cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: cul-node-

Regards,  
Vivek
