Set to
true
(default) to enable machine learning on the node.
If set to

, the machine learning APIs are disabled on the node. Therefore the node cannot open jobs, start datafeeds, or receive transport (internal) communication requests related to machine learning APIs. The machine learning icon is also not visible in all Kibana instances that connect to this Elasticsearch instance.If you want to use machine learning features in your cluster, you must have
xpack.ml.enabled
set totrue
on all master-eligible nodes. This is the default behavior. -
node.ml
-
Set to
true
(default) to identify the node as a machine learning node.

, the node cannot run jobs. If set totrue
butxpack.ml.enabled
is set tofalse
, thenode.ml
setting is ignored and the node cannot run jobs. If you want to run jobs, there must be at least one machine learning node in your cluster.On dedicated coordinating nodes or dedicated master nodes, disable the
