elasticsearchHow do I enable Xpack security in Elasticsearch?
Enabling X-Pack Security in Elasticsearch requires a few steps:
- Install the X-Pack plugin:
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack
- Configure the X-Pack security settings in the
elasticsearch.yml
configuration file:
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
- Create a password for the built-in
elastic
user:
bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto
- Restart the Elasticsearch service:
systemctl restart elasticsearch
- Check the status of the X-Pack security feature:
curl -u elastic:<password> -XGET 'localhost:9200/_xpack?pretty'
The output should look like this:
{
"build" : {
"hash" : "...",
"date" : "..."
},
"license" : {
"status" : "active",
"uid" : "...",
"type" : "basic",
"expiry_date_in_millis" : 0
},
"features" : {
"security" : {
"description" : "Security for the Elastic Stack",
"available" : true,
"enabled" : true
}
}
}
The available
and enabled
fields should both be true
to indicate that X-Pack security is enabled.
