Is it possible to use environment variables or similar to automatically set an Elasticsearch node name to the hostname of the machine? i.e. if a machine is called ES1, the ES node name would also be ES1 without having to configure it in elasticsearch.yml manually?

Can you set ES node name to same as the machine hostname?

Thanks for the advice @warkolm - I'll look into alternative ways of setting the env variable!
