## `EXTERNAL_URL`

Option | `EXTERNAL_URL`
Description | URL that other hosts can use to reach this server
Default | `http://localhost:PORT`

The URL that other hosts can use to reach this host. This is required. Examples: `https://humio01.example.com`.

### Important

We recommend using a TLS endpoint, and a load balancer. Port 8080 should be used only for testing.

ini

    EXTERNAL_URL=http://humio01.lan:8080

For example, in a three node cluster, as shown below:

graph LR; P["LB Proxy"] HA["Host A"] HB["Host B"] HC["Host C"] P-->HA P-->HB P-->HC

The `EXTERNAL_URL` should be set on each host to match the hostname of that node, and `PUBLIC_URL` should be set to the URL of the Load Balancing proxy server (LB Proxy).
