Some settings are not returned via the nodes settings API
editSome settings are not returned via the nodes settings API
editSymptoms:
- When you use the nodes info API to retrieve settings for a node, some information is missing.
Resolution:
This is intentional. Some of the settings are considered to be highly
sensitive: all ssl settings, ldap bind_dn, and bind_password.
For this reason, we filter these settings and do not expose them via
the nodes info API rest endpoint. You can also define additional
sensitive settings that should be hidden using the
xpack.security.hide_settings setting. For example, this snippet
hides the url settings of the ldap1 realm and all settings of the
ad1 realm.
xpack.security.hide_settings: xpack.security.authc.realms.ldap1.url, xpack.security.authc.realms.ad1.*
