elasticsearch-reconfigure-node
editelasticsearch-reconfigure-node
editThe elasticsearch-reconfigure-node
tool reconfigures an Elasticsearch node that was installed
through an RPM or DEB package to join an existing cluster with security features enabled.
Synopsis
editbin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node [--enrollment-token] [-h, --help] [-E <KeyValuePair>] [-s, --silent] [-v, --verbose]
Description
editWhen installing Elasticsearch with a DEB or RPM package, the current node is assumed to
be the first node in the cluster. Elasticsearch enables and configures security
features on the node, generates a password for the elastic
superuser, and
configures TLS for the HTTP and transport layers.
Rather than form a single-node cluster, you can add a node to an existing
cluster where security features are already enabled and configured. Before
starting your new node, run the
elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token
tool
with the -s node
option to generate an enrollment token on any node in your
existing cluster. On your new node, run the
elasticsearch-reconfigure-node
tool and pass the enrollment token as a
parameter.
This tool is intended only for use on DEB or RPM distributions of Elasticsearch.
You must run this tool with sudo
so that it can edit the necessary
files in your Elasticsearch installation configuration directory that are owned by
root:elasticsearch
.
Parameters
edit-
--enrollment-token
- The enrollment token, which can be generated on any of the nodes in an existing, secured cluster.
-
-E <KeyValuePair>
- Configures a standard Elasticsearch or X-Pack setting.
-
-h, --help
- Shows help information.
-
-s, --silent
- Shows minimal output.
-
-v, --verbose
- Shows verbose output.
JVM options
editCLI tools run with 64MB of heap. For most tools, this value is fine. However, if
needed this can be overridden by setting the CLI_JAVA_OPTS
environment variable.
For example, the following increases the heap size used by the
elasticsearch-reconfigure-node
tool to 1GB.
export CLI_JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1g" bin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node ...
Examples
editThe following example reconfigures an installed Elasticsearch node so that it can join an existing cluster when it starts for the first time.
