I have an ES cluster running 7.4.2. 14 physical servers, 37 ES nodes. Some of the servers run 2 ES nodes, some run 3 ES nodes.

Would like to use the node-processor setting. The servers have 48 processors in them.

The question I have is can I set the node-processor setting to different values based on the number of ES nodes running on the physical server or do the values all have to be the same.

I am relatively new to elasticsearch

Thanks.

Jon

You can set them differently, but note that Elasticsearch will (generally) only go as fast as the slowest node.
