[DOCS] Secure settings specified per node #31621

Conversation

It might not be obvious that SecureSettings need to be specified per node. If there's a mistake, and a node misses a setting, then the exception should be informative in most cases. It is not informative in the case of the S3 plugin. This might cause frustration, as per: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-repository-s3-plugin-fixed-in-6-3/135997/3

Even if this arguably does not mend the source of frustration (S3 plugin should not quietly default to using instance credentials), I think the proposed doc mention is not superfluous.

I'd suggest maybe changing to "... need to be specified on each node in the cluster."

I don't think "usually" is accurate. They must be the same on every node.
