Team, i was trying to setup a elasticsearch cluster using vm's on local machine i was able to setup the configuration and started the service but i couldn't able to form the cluster as it shows #curl localhost:9200/\_cat/nodes [root@master01 elasticsearch]# curl localhost:9200/\_cat/nodes?v ip heap.percent ram.percent cpu load\_1m load\_5m load\_15m node.role master name 192.168.29.79 14 92 22 0.34 0.27 0.28 im \* master01 [root@master01 elasticsearch]# working with 3 nodes and here are my configs on them elasticsearch version : 7.6.0 Master01: 192.168.29.79 cluster.name: my-application node.name: master01 path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch network.host: _local_, _site_ also tried with [_local_, _site_] http.port: 9200 discovery.seed\_hosts: ["192.168.29.79"] cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["master01"] node.master: true node.data: false node.ingest: true node.ml: false node01 : 192.168.29.9 cluster.name: my-application node.name: node01 path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch network.host: _local_, _site_ also tried with [_local_, _site_] http.port: 9200 discovery.seed\_hosts: ["192.168.29.79"] cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["master01"] node.master: false node.data: true node.ingest: true node.ml: false node02 : 192.168.29.210 cluster.name: my-application node.name: node02 path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch network.host: _local_, _site_ also tried with [_local_, _site_] http.port: 9200 discovery.seed\_hosts: ["192.168.29.79"] cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["master01"] node.master: false node.data: true node.ingest: true node.ml: false all 3 nodes ping each other [root@master01 elasticsearch]# ping 192.168.29.9 PING 192.168.29.9 (192.168.29.9) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.29.9: icmp\_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.429 ms [root@master01 elasticsearch]# ping 192.168.29.210 PING 192.168.29.210 (192.168.29.210) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.29.210: icmp\_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.524 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.29.210: icmp\_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.39 ms while iwas checking the log s i see that the discovery type zen but no where i setup ths option , i kept "_local_, _site_" [2023-11-22T06:39:51,819][INFO][o.e.d.DiscoveryModule] [master01] using discovery type [zen] and seed hosts providers [settings] and no error logs i found. also i tried to ad the discovery type to multi-node but the elastic service failing to start. could you please help me. ---

if you're in server (es01) then discovery.seed\_hosts=es02,es03 check other server logs as well ---

> [@VijayIQA](#): > > discovery.seed\_hosts Thank you Vijay for your support! my master node is : master01 ["192.168.29.79"] data nodes: node01 ["192.168.29.9"] node02 ["192.168.29.210"] service started in all the nodes but not adding to cluster. here i found few logs , it seems node02 and 01 are trying to connect master using the port no 9300 instead of 9200 and not enabled any security things.

> [@Balajivsn](#): > > network.host: _local_ This cannot be `_local_` as this means that the Elasticsearch service will listen only on `127.0.0.1`. You need to change it to `_site_` or `0.0.0.0`, I would use `0.0.0.0` to make it clear that the service will bind to every ip address in the node, you can also use the ip address of the host, for example `192.168.29.79`. Also, keep in mind that 7.6 is not supported anymore, if you want to use version 7.X you should use 7.17. ---
