- `-disable-host-node-id` ((#\_disable_host_node_id)) - Setting this to
true will prevent Consul from using information from the host to generate a deterministic
node ID, and will instead generate a random node ID which will be persisted in
the data directory. This is useful when running multiple Consul agents on the same
host for testing. This defaults to false in Consul prior to version 0.8.5 and in
0.8.5 and later defaults to true, so you must opt-in for host-based IDs. Host-based
IDs are generated using [gopsutil](https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/tree/master/v3/host), which
is shared with HashiCorp's [Nomad](https://www.nomadproject.io/), so if you opt-in
to host-based IDs then Consul and Nomad will use information on the host to automatically
assign the same ID in both systems.
- `-disable-keyring-file` ((#\_disable_keyring_file)) - If set, the keyring
will not be persisted to a file. Any installed keys will be lost on shutdown, and
only the given `-encrypt` key will be available on startup. This defaults to false.
