Hello, 

I followed this article : Index Lifecycle Management' to set up retention policy. while setting up the hot-warm architecture, to configure the warm node to add attribute  in the /etc/wazuh-indexer/opensearch.yml I am unable to restart the wazuh-indexer getting a error. 

Below attached are the screenshots:
1. results of cat /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log | grep "error|warn"

Hi Tejo,

The documentation’s hot-warm architecture assumes you have multiple nodes to separate these roles. In a single-node setup, assigning a phase-specific attribute like warm disrupts the cluster.

If you remove node.attr.tempathis part from the opensearch.yml file, indexer will restart. Therefore, you need to have another indexer to configure warm phase.
  • A hot node is typically fast and expensive due to its high computing resources.

  • A warm node is slower and cheaper due to lower computing resources.


Ref: https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/wazuh-indexer-cluster/index-lifecycle-management.html#set-up-hot-warm-architecture
You can design a hot-warm architecture where you first index your data to hot nodes and after a certain period move them to warm nodes. (This required multi-node architecture.)

Let me know if you need further assistance on this.

Thanks Hasitha for your response,

I will remove those attributes from my single node setup. I am getting one more error on the dashboard from another  wazuh deployment. I attached the screenshot below for your reference.
