Question

Is there any way to change the “master” node name?

Answer 1

I ended up doing the following:

• Set the number of executors to 0 in the “System Configuration”
• Create a slave node in the master server and assigned a proper name for it

This solved my problem of having an unwanted “master” name in the list of slave nodes. The cost is to have two java processes running on the master server: one for hudson itself and another for the slave node.
