Hi,  
I have a cluster of two elasticsearch instances.  
After the update from 6.3.1 to 6.4 the elasticsearch log on one machine is flooded with messages like the following:

[2018-08-29T13:17:01,091][INFO][o.e.x.m.e.l.LocalExporter] waiting for elected master node [{Grace Hopper}{NKo4EY3cSeWn4lhgMJdrIg}{pjWhPYUcS1WI4k7CZbmj3A}{192.168.96.172}{192.168.96.172:9300}{ml.machine\_memory=12411981824, ml.max\_open\_jobs=20, xpack.installed=true, ml.enabled=true}] to setup local exporter [default\_local] (does it have x-pack installed?)

The elasticsearch log on the other machine is flooded with:

[2018-08-29T13:20:54,717][ERROR][o.e.x.m.e.l.LocalExporter] failed to set monitoring pipeline [xpack\_monitoring\_2]

How do I solve this?

Best regards,  
Robert
