I am having trouble preventing my local node from connecting to nearby nodes. Here's my elasticsearch\_spring.properties cluster.name=redowl index.search.slowlog.level=INFO index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.info=0ms client.transport.ping\_timeout=30s path.logs=target/elasticsearch/logs discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled=false node.local=true index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.info=0ms http.enabled=true My local node in this case is Lightmaster ``` --> target ``` [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]], master [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]] 2013-06-05 10:58:28,068 [DEBUG] o.e.t.netty [Slf4jESLogger.java:84] [Lightmaster] connected to node [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]] It was my impression that node.local and discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled should prevent my node from finding other nodes, but this doesn't appear to be the case. How can I prevent my local node from other nearby nodes? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

The easiest solution is to change the name of each cluster. Using zen discovery, only nodes with the same cluster name will connect with each other. The other option is to use unicast discovery and explicitly specify the nodes in the cluster. The cluster name is made for your situation. -- Ivan On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 8:17 AM, Paul Hobgood [paulh@redowlanalytics.com](mailto:paulh@redowlanalytics.com)wrote: > I am having trouble preventing my local node from connecting to nearby > nodes. > > Here's my elasticsearch\_spring.properties > > cluster.name=redowl > index.search.slowlog.level=INFO > index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.info=0ms > client.transport.ping\_timeout=30s > path.logs=target/elasticsearch/logs > discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled=false > node.local=true > index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.info=0ms > http.enabled=true > > My local node in this case is Lightmaster > > ``` > --> target > > ``` > > [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]], master > [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]] > 2013-06-05 10:58:28,068 [DEBUG] o.e.t.netty [Slf4jESLogger.java:84] > [Lightmaster] connected to node > [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]] > > It was my impression that node.local and > discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled should prevent my node from finding > other nodes, but this doesn't appear to be the case. > > How can I prevent my local node from other nearby nodes?

another option is to set network.host to 127.0.0.1 and disable multicast discovery.

I've added the following lines to my props and I'm still discovering nearby nodes: # Disable network discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled=false node.local=true network.host=127.0.0.1 What else can I try to completely cut off my node from other nearby nodes? I don't want their data at all for local development Thanks On Wednesday, June 5, 2013 11:17:44 AM UTC-4, Paul Hobgood wrote: > I am having trouble preventing my local node from connecting to nearby > nodes. > > Here's my elasticsearch\_spring.properties > > cluster.name=redowl > index.search.slowlog.level=INFO > index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.info=0ms > client.transport.ping\_timeout=30s > path.logs=target/elasticsearch/logs > discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled=false > node.local=true > index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.info=0ms > http.enabled=true > > My local node in this case is Lightmaster > > ``` > --> target > > ``` > > [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]], master > [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]] > 2013-06-05 10:58:28,068 [DEBUG] o.e.t.netty [Slf4jESLogger.java:84] > [Lightmaster] connected to node > [[Pressure][rm6wcIwVSy2opNs\_4AFFpA][inet[/172.16.1.9:9300]]] > > It was my impression that node.local and > discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled should prevent my node from finding > other nodes, but this doesn't appear to be the case. > > How can I prevent my local node from other nearby nodes?
