Elasticsearch administrator installation tasks
The Elasticsearch administrator must perform a set of tasks to allow the Content Platform Engine to access the cluster.
As an Elasticsearch administrator, you need to do the following:
- Make sure that your Content Platform Engine Elasticsearch cluster uses a supported Elasticsearch or OpenSearch version. For details about the supported Elasticsearch and OpenSearch versions, please refer to the IBM Software Product Compatibility Report .
- Review access rights for the Elasticsearch users and roles that are configured to use the
Content Platform Engine Elasticsearch cluster. Make sure that
you provide read access to the cluster base URL to test connectivity to the cluster. You also need
to provide full control access to indexes with the prefix name of
fncm_*. - Document indexing is a disk-intensive activity. In production environments, make sure that you use a solid-state storage device (SSD) for cluster storage to avoid performance bottlenecks.
- Make sure that you configure your Elasticsearch cluster to allow the Content Platform Engine to access the cluster. For more information, see topic Configuring an Elasticsearch cluster to allow Content Platform Engine access.
- Make sure that you configure the Content Platform Engine to use Elasticsearch. For more information, see topic Configuring Content Platform Engine to use Elasticsearch.
