Any flag which contains a dot (".") denotes nesting within the config file, so the two flags `--cluster.coordinator="localhost:10101"` and `--cluster.replicas=1` look like this in the config file:

 #### Cluster Coordinator
 
-* Description: Address of the node responsible for coordinating cluster membership and the cluster resize process. This value should be the same on all nodes in the cluster.

-* Env: `PILOSA_CLUSTER_COORDINATOR="localhost:10101"`
+* Description: Indicates whether the node should act as the coordinator for the cluster. Only one node per cluster should be the coordinator.
+* Flag: `cluster.coordinator`
+* Env: `PILOSA_CLUSTER_COORDINATOR`
 * Config:
