Creating Data Extract from Elasticsearch 5.x

The Elasticsearch 5.x connector allows you to connect and access data from an Elasticsearch cluster using Transport Client.

   NOTE

·         The Elasticsearch 5.x connector supports Elasticsearch 5.x versions, starting from version 5.3.

·         With the support of Elasticsearch 6.x, all existing workbooks are considered using the version 5.x.

·         Elasticsearch 5.x and 6.x connectors will not work in a single Panopticon Visualization Server instance due to conflicting Elasticsearch API dependencies.

 

 

Steps:

1.     On the New Data Extract page, select Elasticsearch 5.x in the Connector drop-down list.

2.     Enter the following information:

Convention

Use

Host

The hostname of any node in your Elasticsearch cluster, or localhost for a node on your local machine.

Port

The port running the Elasticsearch HTTP service (default is 9300). If the port you wish to use is different from the default port, change the value to the correct one.

User Id

The username used to connect to the Elasticsearch 5.x service.

Password

The password used to connect to the Elasticsearch 5.x service.

Check the Show Characters box to display the entered password characters.

Cluster Name

The cluster name that can be used to discover and auto-join nodes.

Index Name

The Index name in Elasticsearch. This is some type of data organization mechanism that allows partition of data in a certain way.

 

3.     Enter an optional JSON-encoded request body in the Query box.

4.     Click  to save and display the details of the data extract.

5.     Click  then  to display the data preview.
