Issue

The node name is being displayed at the bottom of the page in Control Panel, but I want to hide it.

Environment

  • DXP 7.0+

Resolution

This behaviour is controlled by the web.server.display.node= property. Here's the description of that property from the default portal.properties file:

    #
    # Set this to true to display the server name at the bottom of every page.
    # This is useful when testing clustering configurations so that you can know
    # which node you are accessing.
    #
    # Env: LIFERAY_WEB_PERIOD_SERVER_PERIOD_DISPLAY_PERIOD_NODE
    #
    web.server.display.node=false

By default this is set to false, so probably it has been set to true in portal-ext.properties file or elsewhere in the environment (such as the portal-env.properties, portal-all.properties, etc.). You may simply set it to false in portal-ext.properties and restart the server.
