elastic/helm-charts/elasticsearch: Readiness probe failed: Waiting for elasticsearch cluster to become ready

Chart version: 7.7.1 Kubernetes version: 1.16 Kubernetes provider: E.g. GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) EKS Helm Version: 2.16.10

helm get release output

e.g. helm get elasticsearch (replace elasticsearch with the name of your helm release)

Be careful to obfuscate every secrets (credentials, token, public IP, …) that could be visible in the output before copy-pasting.

If you find some secrets in plain text in helm get release output you should use Kubernetes Secrets to managed them is a secure way (see Security Example).

Output of helm get release

**Steps to reproduce:**

1.
helm install --name elasticsearch ./elasticsearch --namespace elk
2.
3.

**Expected behavior:**

**Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant):**

*Be careful to obfuscate every secrets (credentials, token, public IP, ...) that could be visible in the output before copy-pasting*

**Any additional context:**

[adinhodovic]

If your running a single replica cluster add the following helm value:

clusterHealthCheckParams: "wait_for_status=yellow&timeout=1s"

Your status will never go green with a single replica cluster.

The following values should work:

replicas: 1
minimumMasterNodes: 1
clusterHealthCheckParams: 'wait_for_status=yellow&timeout=1s'

[vikas4cloud]

is this happening if you edited anything in the helm-charts/elasticsearch/values.yaml file
