elasticsearch-reconfigure-nodeedit
The 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.
Synopsisedit
bin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node [--enrollment-token] [-h, --help] [-E <KeyValuePair>] [-s, --silent] [-v, --verbose]
Descriptionedit
When 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.
Parametersedit
-
--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 optionsedit
CLI tools run with 64MB of heap. For most tools, this value is fine. However, if needed
this can be overriden by setting the CLI_JAVA_OPTS environment variable. For example,
the following increases the heap size used by the reconfigure-node tool to 1GB.
export CLI_JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1g" bin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node ...
Examplesedit
The following example reconfigures an installed Elasticsearch node so that it can join an existing cluster when it starts for the first time.
