Two steps are required to create an Elasticsearch index that can interact with yuuvis® Momentum:

  1. Creation of a new Elasticsearch index, and
  2. Applying yuuvis® Momentum Elasticsearch index mapping and settings

Creating a new Elasticsearch Index

titleCURL command & more information

Create a new Index with a unique name.

The creation of the new Elasticsearch index allows for the optimization of the working index for the current storage requirements. Indices work best when storing around 10 GB, and should contain no more than 50 GB of data. 

For a cluster than contains 50 GB of Elasticsearch data, a high-performance index might look something like this:

Code Block
titleCURL command
collapsetrue
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/yuuvis_2?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "settings": {
    "index": {
      "number_of_shards": 5, 
      "number_of_replicas": 1 
    }
  }
}
'

Make sure to change the index parameters to suit your storage and reliability requirements.

To get a compatible mapping, retrieve the original Elasticsearch index's mapping by using the Get mapping API:

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/yuuvis/_mapping" 

Then apply the extracted mapping the new index
