2. Install and Configure Elasticsearch

To be able to work with Zephyr Data Center, you need to install and configure Elasticsearch -- a search and analytics engine -- on a separate node. Depending on the number of concurrent users who will work with the Data Center, you may need to set up one Elasticsearch node or a cluster of nodes (see Recommended Configurations).

To install Elasticsearch on Windows (on a single node or cluster nodes):

  1. Download Elasticsearch 8.6.2 (the ZIP archive).

  2. Unzip the downloaded file.

  3. Configure the {elasticsearch}\config\elasticsearch.yml file:

    For more details on the configuration, refer to:

  4. Start the service by running the {elasticsearch}\bin\elasticsearch.bat file.

To install Elasticsearch on Linux (on a single node or on cluster nodes):

  1. Download Elasticsearch 8.6.2 (the RPM archive), or run the following command in the Linux command prompt:

    wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.6.2-x86_64.rpm

  2. In the Linux command prompt, run the following commands to install Elasticsearch:

    sudo rpm -ivh elasticsearch-8.6.2-x86_64.rpm

    sudo yum localinstall elasticsearch-8.6.2-x86_64.rpm

  3. Configure the etc\elasticsearch\elasticsearch.yml file:

    For more details on the configuration, refer to:

  4. Start Elasticsearch. The way you start and stop it depends on whether your system uses SysV init or systemd.

    If SysV init is used, you start and stop Elasticsearch by running the service command:

    sudo -i service elasticsearch start

    sudo -i service elasticsearch stop

    If systemd is used, you run the following commands:

    sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

    sudo systemctl stop elasticsearch.service

  5. Run the following command to verify Elasticsearch is working properly:

    curl -XGET '192.168.11.146:9200/_cat/health?v&pretty'
