I confess that, at least for me, documentation, including purchased books, remains a bit ambiguous, where the context is that of making my ES client talk to two different servers.
In the end, I did nothing to the elasticsearch.yml files at each server; it simply was not clear what needed to be changed. I did present two IP addresses to the client, but nothing else. That is, I didn't set "sniff" to true, or tell it to ignore cluster names since each server box has just one ES installation running. At startup, I could see that both servers were responding, but soon they each blew up with a flurry of error messages which mean little to me. I bet they're meaningful, except that somewhere near the top where the initial error occurred and which is no-longer visible, perhaps something important was stated. The client's log file correctly stated: connected to 10.1.10.179:9300 and connected to 10.1.10.178:9300 but the log of the 179 server said words to this effect: zen-disco-node_failed[...][inet 10.1.10.80:9301] I guess I missed something: I don't have a 10.1.10.80 on that network... On the surface, is there something obvious I missed? Many thanks in advance for ideas. Jack -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
