why did the settings not get loaded from the yml file? Especially, since everything else works, i mean i am able to connect to the cluster and do everything else.
Is there a way to check which settings from the yml file were actually loaded?
AFAIK, I haven't seen any settings from the yml show up in GET _cluster/settings, but I recommend that you manage cluster settings via the PUT _cluster/settings because you can dynamically change settings without having to restart ES service.
Here is a list of endpoints that you can view... it might not be up-to-date but you can generate your own using the .sh script also posted at the link below.
