Hello All, I am setting up elastic cluster in my environment. I have setup a master node and i want the elastic to run on the IP address of master node in order to get the clustering working . When i add the below lines to my elastic YML file i get the below error Bound or publising to a non loopback address , enforcing bootstrap check , node validation failed and then my elastic crashes . When i run it on local host it starts fine. This is my configuration \_\_\_ **Network** network.host: my ip address http.host:my ip address network.bind\_host:ip address Usually when the elastic starts it by default runs on 127.0.0.0 rather than my ip address Please someone could help me here for my project ---

But did you read the documentation I linked to? ![IMG_4864](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/9/2909a5735f5d469dc000865eabef58c5e24e1663.jpeg) There's a link to the exact problem you wrote. It will lead you to: [System call filter check | Elasticsearch Guide [8.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_system_call_filter_check.html) I'm not a sys admin so I can't tell exactly what needs to be done. Also please provide the full logs so experts could tell more 😊 ---

Change in log4j2.properties and restart ES. Should have more info in the debug mode. `rootLogger.level = debug` ---
