I can't find any information in the guide nor google on how to setup a zen gossip router. Can anyone help me out? I really want to use elasticsearch, but I need to get over this one snag. 🙂 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

What do you mean by router? ES doesn't have that concept so perhaps you are confusing it with something else 🙂 On 5 December 2014 at 06:06, Fernando Padilla [fernman@gmail.com](mailto:fernman@gmail.com) wrote: > I can't find any information in the guide nor google on how to setup a zen > gossip router.

Um, it does.. ZenDiscovery Unicast: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. It accepts a list of well known servers to drive it's "gossip" protocol. I want to run free-standing servers/nodes with well known host:port combos. The docs don't really talk about that at all.. do i really have to install and run a full ES instance to accomplish this?

So yeah, I probably mis-named it 🙂 from gossip-router to gossip-server. But I think it still means the same thing 🙂 On 12/4/14 2:52 PM, Fernando Padilla wrote: > Um, it does..

I figured as much but wanted to make sure 🙂 Essentially these are just plain old ES nodes, so you can pick a few at random from your cluster and list them. It's not a specific, independent server(s).
