VariableEXTERNAL_URL
Description URL that other hosts can use to reach this server
Defaulthttp://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).
