key
Note
This setting is required when using the allocated filtertype.
- filtertype: allocated key: ... value: ... allocation_type: exclude: True The value of this setting should correspond to a node setting on one or more nodes in your cluster.
For example, you might have set
node.tag: myvalue in your elasticsearch.yml file for one or more of your nodes. To match allocation in this case, set key to tag.
These special attributes are also supported:
| attribute | description |
|---|---|
_name | Match nodes by node name |
_host_ip | Match nodes by host IP address (IP associated with hostname) |
_publish_ip | Match nodes by publish IP address |
_ip | Match either _host_ip or _publish_ip |
_host | Match nodes by hostname |
There is no default value. This setting must be set by the user or an exception will be raised, and execution will halt.
