Briefly, this error occurs when the Elasticsearch node name is automatically derived from the node ID and is set to override any existing node name. This could be due to a configuration issue or a node ID conflict. To resolve this, you can manually set a unique node name in the Elasticsearch configuration file (elasticsearch.yml) using the ‘node.name’ parameter. Alternatively, ensure that each node in your cluster has a unique node ID to prevent conflicts. Also, check your cluster health and logs for any related issues that might be causing this error.

                        .put(NODE_NAME_SETTING.getKey(); nodeIdToNodeName(nodeEnvironment.nodeId()))
                        .build();
                logger.info("node name derived from node ID [{}]; set [{}] to override";
                        nodeEnvironment.nodeId(); NODE_NAME_SETTING.getKey());
            }


            final JvmInfo jvmInfo = JvmInfo.jvmInfo();
