Network settings
OpenSearch uses HTTP settings to configure communication with external clients through the REST API and transport settings for internal node-to-node communication within OpenSearch.
To learn more about static and dynamic settings, see Configuring OpenSearch.
OpenSearch supports the following common network settings:
-
network.host
(Static, list): Binds an OpenSearch node to an address. Use0.0.0.0
to include all available network interfaces, or specify an IP address assigned to a specific interface. Thenetwork.host
setting is a combination ofnetwork.bind_host
andnetwork.publish_host
if they are the same value. An alternative tonetwork.host
is to configurenetwork.bind_host
andnetwork.publish_host
separately as needed. See Advanced network settings. -
http.port
(Static, single value or range): Binds an OpenSearch node to a custom port or a range of ports for HTTP communication. You can specify an address or a range of addresses. Default is9200-9300
. -
transport.port
(Static, single value or range): Binds an OpenSearch node to a custom port for communication between nodes. You can specify an address or a range of addresses. Default is9300-9400
.
Advanced network settings
OpenSearch supports the following advanced network settings:
-
network.bind_host
(Static, list): Binds an OpenSearch node to an address or addresses for incoming connections. Default is the value innetwork.host
. -
network.publish_host
