Hi, Installed and used enterprise modules, if any - No We are using community module JVM version and operating system version - 1.8 Elasticsearch 6.2.0 Searchguard is 6.2.2 we installed searchguard for elasticsearch and followed all process, but after executing elasticsearch, it is not starting elasticsearch, giving Not yet initialized [you may need to run sgadmin] while running sgadmin it is giving NoNodesAvalaible exception error. error: unable to check whether cluster is sane: none f the configured nodes are available. Below is the sgadmin command which we are using : `sgadmin.sh -cd ..\sgconfig -key ..\..\..\config\kirk-key.pem -cert ..\..\..\config\kirk.pem -cacert ..\..\..\config\root-ca.pem -nhnv -icl` ` ` Any early solution for this will be very helpful. Thanks in advance:-) ---

I am experiencing the exact same issue, though with newer versions of SG and ES. Elasticsearch is 6.3.0 Search Guard is 22.3 (SG6-6.3.0) Java is 1.8.0 (Oracle) 3-node ES cluster on AWS, security groups allow traffic between nodes on 9300, discovery-ec2 plugin finds the other nodes, all have certificates with CNs that match the elasticsearch.yml configuration options. Trying to run sgadmin.sh yields: $ /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/search-guard-6/tools/sgadmin.sh \ > -cd sgconfig -icl -nhnv > -cacert /etc/elasticsearch/ssl/ca.pem > -cert /root/admin.pem > -key /root/admin-key.pem > WARNING: JAVA\_HOME not set, will use /usr/bin/java > Search Guard Admin v6 > Will connect to localhost:9300 … done > Unable to check whether cluster is sane: None of the configured nodes are available: [{#transport#-1}{73T-3U1pRxu2xv1rNReE-Q}{localhost}{127.0.0.1:9300}] > ERR: Cannot connect to Elasticsearch.
