I have 2 nodes in the cluster log-es-default-0 and log-es-default-1.
log-es-default-0 - master node
log-es-default-1 - data node
I tried running the below command but it still adds it.
```auto
PUT /_cluster/settings?pretty
{
"transient" : {
"cluster" : {
"routing" : {
"*":null
}
}
}
}
```
```auto
"transient" : {
"cluster" : {
"routing" : {
"allocation" : {
"exclude" : {
"_name" : "log-es-default-1"
}
}
}
}
}
```

@warkolm
It adds this transient setting on it's own.
I even checked if anything is wrong with the log-es-default-1 data node but nothing seems off.
```auto
"transient" : {
"cluster" : {
"routing" : {
"allocation" : {
"exclude" : {
"_name" : "log-es-default-1"
}
}
}
}
}
```

The only way for Elasticsearch to add this is if it's asked to, so what do your logs show?

I have never modified or accessed the settings of my cluster since we started using elasticsearch .
These settings started to show up when I increased the data node count when there came up a need to have replica shards.
Now when I have increased my data node count by one more node the transient settings has changed to this
"transient" : {
"cluster" : {
"routing" : {
"allocation" : {
"exclude" : {
"\_name" : "log-es-default-2"
}
}
}
}
}
Currently, we have
1 master node -\> log-es-default-0
2 data nodes -\> log-es-default-1, log-es-default-2
