Elasticsearch provider

About Elasticsearch providers

An Elasticsearch provider is a dedicated provider that contains the connection details to your Elasticsearch instance. You need to create a Elasticsearch provider before you can use Elasticsearch tiles.

When you are creating an Elasticsearch provider, make sure that the SquaredUp server has access to your Elasticsearch instance, since it is the server that connects to Elasticsearch, and not your users' browser.

What are Integrations and Providers

Adding an Elasticsearch provider

1. In SquaredUp browse to System > Administration > Integrations.
2. Click Elasticsearch:

3. In the service name box type in a suitable name, e.g. Elasticsearch
4. Enter the URL for your Elasticsearch instance.

   The URL depends on your Elasticsearch environment:
   

   1. If you are using the Elastic cloud service, you need to enter the endpoint URL, which has the following format:
      https://CLUSTER_ID.REGION.CLOUD_PLATFORM.DOMAIN:PORT
   2. If you are running Elasticsearch in a different environment, ask your Elastic administrator for the instance URL and port number.
5. Enter the username and password for your Elasticsearch instance into the appropriate boxes:

6. Change ignore invalid ssl to on if you are using a self-signed certificate.
7. Click save.
