Hi,

I'm trying to setup a tribe node to talk to the two cluster I have. Here is the elasticsearh.yml

# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:

# 

[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): tribe ----what should this be?

# 

# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for the node:

# 

[node.name](http://node.name): node1  
node.master: false  
node.data: false

#------------------------------------- Tribe ---------------------------------------

tribe:  
t1:  
[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): X  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["X1", "X2", "X3"]  
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false  
t2:  
[cluster.name](http://cluster.name): Y  
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["Y1", "Y2", "Y3"]  
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

This configuration doesn't work. I get service unavailable in the kibana screen.  
The documentation doesn't talk about all the configurations in the elasticsearch.yml

Any help would be appreciated!
