- Start the setup by double-clicking.
- Follow the setup dialogs.
- Under HTTP-Port, you can configure the port that Elasticsearch will listen on. This port should only be changed if the default port (9200) is already being used. For more details see below.
- The index directory is the directory where Elasticsearch will put its index (database) files. This directory can become very large. We recommend to use SSD storage for this directory.
- When asked for the maximum memory, configure the amount of heap space that Elasticsearch can use. This should be between 6 and 31.5 GB.
- Start the installation.
- Do not start the service yet.
- Change the http and transport ports (optional unless running 2+ instances on the same machine):
- Edit the <elasticsearch>\config\elasticsearch.yml file
- Change the "http.port:" property to your desired port. Make sure to reflect this change in the <service-manager>\config\application-es.yml configuration file of the service-manager.
- Change the "transport.tcp.port" property to your desired port
- Set the repository path (optional, if no cluster is set up):
- Edit the <elasticsearch>\config\elasticsearch.yml file
- Edit the "path.repo:" property and set your desired repository path. Use "/" instead of "\" in the path.
If you want to run Elasticsearch in a cluster, this path needs to be used by all cluster nodes and therefore it needs to be accessible by all cluster nodes.
- Modify the service user (optional):
- Run the "elasticsearch-793-service-x64wyuuvis_rad_elasticsearchw.exe" file in the <elasticsearch>\bin directory.
- Enter the technical (Windows) user in the "Log On" tab.
- Change heap space settings (optional):
- Run the "elasticsearch-793-service-x64wyuuvis_rad_elasticsearchw.exe" file in the <elasticsearch>\bin directory.
- In the "Java" tab, modify the "Maximum memory pool" value to the desired amount of heap space for the service. Make sure "Initial memory pool" is set to the same value.In the "Java options" section adapt the "-Xmx" and "-Xms" settings to the desired amount of heap space.
- Modify the data directory (optional):
- Edit the <elasticsearch>\config\elasticsearch.yml file
- Edit the "path.data:" property and set your desired data path. Use "/" instead of "\" in the path.
- Modify the log directory (optional):
- Run the "elasticsearch-793-service-x64wyuuvis_rad_elasticsearchw.exe" file in the <elasticsearch>\bin directory.
- Modify the log directory in the "Logging" tab.
- Edit the file <elasticsearch>\config\elasticsearch.yml
- Add a line with "path.logs: " and the path to your desired logs folder. Use "/" instead of "\" in the path.
- Start the service. (check es-red.log file in the logs folder for correct startup)
- Execute the <elasticsearch>\bin\elasticsearch-set-initial-passwords.bat file
- Copy the password of the 'elastic' user. (Alternatively, you can open the <elasticsearch>\config\built-in.usr file and look it up there.)
