OS version: CentOS 6.9  
kibana version: 6.3.0  
logstash version: 6.3.0

Add two logstash nodes, one node is normal, and the other show '0.0.0.0'

How does kibana get the hostname of the operation system?

Thanks!!!

I found that we can set a node name manually by set `node.name` in the config file `logstash.yml`.

I followed this page:

> **[logstash.yml | Logstash Reference \[7.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-settings-file.html)**

Now it shows the specified node name, but I still wonder how kibana get the OS hostname.

If I do not set node name manually, what happened?
