You should see the below one. In-short, all you have to do is

- change the 'localhost' to your production system 'ip address' in elasticsearch.yml file.
- any additional tagging to identify the cluster.

> Hi All, What is the difference between the elastic search & Kibana in dev mode and Prod mode or how we can identify the server is running in Prod mode or Dev Mode. According to the docs [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.x/bootstrap-checks.html.,](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.x/bootstrap-checks.html.,) am not getting pretty clear.
