[[node.name]]

=== `node.name`
|

|
|
|

|
By default, Elasticsearch will take the 7 first character of the randomly
|
||
|
|
generated uuid used as the node id. Note that the node id is persisted and does
|
||
|
|
not change when a node restarts and therefore the default node name will also
|
||
|
|
not change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is worth configuring a more meaningful name which will also have the
|
||
|
|
advantage of persisting after restarting the node:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
node.name: prod-data-2
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `node.name` can also be set to the server's HOSTNAME as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
node.name: ${HOSTNAME}
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
