Hi,

How do I know if a setting is `reloadable`?  
I was reading the documentation on [Secure Settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/secure-settings.html), however, I'm unsure if I am missing something which signifies this.

Additionally, what happens if the secure setting is different on different nodes and you initiate a reload?

Thank you in advanced 🙂

Hi @ntran

Currently, the secure settings for the following plugins:

- [EC2 Discovery Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/discovery-ec2.html)
- [Azure Repository Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-azure.html)
- [Google Cloud Storage Repository Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-gcs.html)
- [S3 Repository Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3.html)

are reloadable.

We don't validate that the values are the same on reload, you'd need to ensure that. Each node will reload values from its own keystore, so if there is a divergence, each node will end up with different configuration. This would be the same as if you had entered different values in the keystore to begin with.
