=== Node name setting

{es} uses `node.name` as a human-readable identifier for a
particular instance of {es}. This name is included in the response
of many APIs. The node name defaults to the hostname of the machine when
{es} starts, but can be configured explicitly in
`elasticsearch.yml`:

Reorganize configuring Elasticsearch docs This commit reorganizes some of the content in the configuring Elasticsearch section of the docs. The changes are: - move JVM options out of system configuration into configuring Elasticsearch - move JVM options to its own page of the docs - move configuring the heap to important Elasticsearch settings - move configuring the heap to its own page of the docs - move all important settings to individual pages in the docs - remove bootstrap.memory_lock from important settings, this is covered in the swap section of system configuration Relates #27755 2017-12-12 10:24:37 -05:00
