Hi,  
I'm trying to configure cross-cluster-search to query specific remote nodes with the setting `node.attr.search: true`. To do that I'm updating the settings of the local cluster as follows:

```auto
{
  "persistent": {
    "cluster.remote.node.attr": "search"
  }
}

```

However, that gets the response:

```auto
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"remote_transport_exception","reason":"[master-node][x.x.x.x:9300][cluster:admin/settings/update]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"persistent setting [cluster.remote.node.attr], not dynamically updateable"},"status":400}

```

What am I doing wrong here?

Thx  
D

Try to put this

> **[Remote clusters | Elasticsearch Guide \[6.5\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/modules-remote-clusters.html#cluster.remote.node.attr)**

property in elasticsearch.yml do a rolling restart after it.  
You can't configure it via curl because: not dynamically updateable.
