Replication settings

The replication plugin adds several settings to the standard OpenSearch cluster settings. The settings are dynamic, so you can change the default behavior of the plugin without restarting your cluster. To learn more about static and dynamic settings, see Configuring OpenSearch.

You can mark settings as persistent or transient.

For example, to update how often the follower cluster polls the leader cluster for updates:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "plugins.replication.follower.metadata_sync_interval": "30s"
  }
}

These settings manage the resources consumed by remote recoveries. We don’t recommend changing these settings; the defaults should work well for most use cases.

plugins.replication.follower.concurrent_readers_per_shard 2 The number of concurrent requests from the follower cluster per shard during the syncing phase of replication.
plugins.replication.autofollow.fetch_poll_interval 30s How often auto-follow tasks poll the leader cluster for new matching indexes.
plugins.replication.follower.metadata_sync_interval 60s How often the follower cluster polls the leader cluster for updated index metadata.
