== Network Settings
|
|
|
|
There are several modules within a Node that use network based
|
|
configuration, for example, the
|
|
<<modules-transport,transport>> and
|
|
<<modules-http,http>> modules. Node level
|
|
network settings allows to set common settings that will be shared among
|
|
all network based modules (unless explicitly overridden in each module).
|
|
|
|
Be careful with host configuration! Never expose an unprotected instance
|
|
to the public internet.
|
|
|
|
The `network.bind_host` setting allows to control the host different network
|
|
components will bind on. By default, the bind host will be `_local_`
|
|
(loopback addresses such as `127.0.0.1`, `::1`).
|
|
|
|
The `network.publish_host` setting allows to control the host the node will
|
|
publish itself within the cluster so other nodes will be able to connect to it.
|
|
Currently an elasticsearch node may be bound to multiple addresses, but only
|
|
publishes one. If not specified, this defaults to the "best" address from
|
|
`network.bind_host`, sorted by IPv4/IPv6 stack preference, then by reachability.
|
|
|
|
The `network.host` setting is a simple setting to automatically set both
|
|
`network.bind_host` and `network.publish_host` to the same host value.
|
|
|
|
Both settings allows to be configured with either explicit host address(es)
|
|
or host name(s). The settings also accept logical setting value(s) explained
|
|
in the following table:

|
[cols="<,<",options="header",]

|=======================================================================
|
|
|Logical Host Setting Value |Description
|
|
|`_local_` |Will be resolved to loopback addresses
|
|
|
|
|`_local:ipv4_` |Will be resolved to loopback IPv4 addresses (e.g. 127.0.0.1)
|
|
|
|
|`_local:ipv6_` |Will be resolved to loopback IPv6 addresses (e.g. ::1)
|
|
|
|
|`_site_` |Will be resolved to site-local addresses ("private network")
|
|
|
|
|`_site:ipv4_` |Will be resolved to site-local IPv4 addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.1)
|
|
|
|
|`_site:ipv6_` |Will be resolved to site-local IPv6 addresses (e.g. fec0::1)
|
|
|
|
|`_global_` |Will be resolved to globally-scoped addresses ("publicly reachable")
|
|
|
|
|`_global:ipv4_` |Will be resolved to globally-scoped IPv4 addresses (e.g. 8.8.8.8)
|
|
|
|
|`_global:ipv6_` |Will be resolved to globally-scoped IPv6 addresses (e.g. 2001:4860:4860::8888)
|
|
|
|
|`_[networkInterface]_` |Resolves to the addresses of the provided
|
|
network interface. For example `_en0_`.
|
|
|
|
|`_[networkInterface]:ipv4_` |Resolves to the ipv4 addresses of the
|
|
provided network interface. For example `_en0:ipv4_`.
|
|
|
|
|`_[networkInterface]:ipv6_` |Resolves to the ipv6 addresses of the
|
|
provided network interface. For example `_en0:ipv6_`.

=== TCP Settings
|
|
|
|
Any component that uses TCP (like the HTTP, Transport and Memcached)
|
|
share the following allowed settings:

|
|
[cols="<,<",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|Setting |Description
|
|
|`network.tcp.no_delay` |Enable or disable tcp no delay setting.
|
|
Defaults to `true`.
|
|
|
|
|`network.tcp.keep_alive` |Enable or disable tcp keep alive. Defaults
|
|
to `true`.
|
|
|
|
|`network.tcp.reuse_address` |Should an address be reused or not.
|
|
Defaults to `true` on non-windows machines.
|
|
|
|
|`network.tcp.send_buffer_size` |The size of the tcp send buffer size
|
|
(in size setting format). By default not explicitly set.
|
|
|
|
|`network.tcp.receive_buffer_size` |The size of the tcp receive buffer
