Stand-alone Elasticsearch in Connections v7 - Not documented or not supported?

HCL Connections Connections Forum

Hello,

the v6.5 documentation for HCL Connections contains instructions on how to use stand-alone Elasticsearch. This topic does not exist (or I did not find it) in the v7 documentation.

Is the usage of a stand-alone Elasticsearch server for Connections v7 not supported anymore or just not documented?

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi.

Somehow I was looking for this documentation. But this is a copy from the v65.

  1. I can not find this document in the index of the documentation (and when opening it directly I see no breadcrumbs where to find it)
  2. It is related to ES 5.5.1 but what about v7.6 used for Connections v7?

I just found out:

It is not documented but it works. (Still, no information if it is supported but at least it is mentioned in the sizing guide.)

When you use Elasticsearch v7 make sure you set the property "elasticsearch.eSmajorVersion" to 7 (default 5) in the LC-config.xml

This will instruct the Metrics Server to use the c2.export.elasticsearch.baseurl7 property from the HCL Connections Configuration page and talk ES v7 dialect with the API.

As I use AWS Elasticsearch service, I used v7.7 and not v7.6.1 which is the version HCL provides inside the Component Pack.
