I’m trying to exclude index allocation ip through API, however how do we append a new node as a exclusion to an already existing allocation exclude ip?

Hi Freddy,

The allocation exclude ip can be a comma-separated list of IPs, so you should be able to append it (with a comma) and set a new setting with a concatenated value.
