How to Set up a Connection to an Elasticsearch Index
Since Solr supported is deprecated starting from PoolParty 2024 Release 2, this section guides you through setting up a connection to an external Elasticsearch index service in the Semantic Middleware Configurator:
Caution
We highly recommend setting up minimal security for Elasticsearch before connecting to PoolParty. For more information, refer to the Elasticsearch documentation.
Note
Make sure that you do not have any other connection to a search index configured here, as only a single index configuration is allowed. For more information on how to remove a configuration, refer to Delete an Existing Search Index Configuration.
Go to the Semantic Middleware Configurator (SMC).
Find the Systems node in the Hierarchy Tree.
Expand the Indices node.
Right-click on Elasticsearch and select Create.
Fill in Name in the Setup New Elasticsearch Index dialogue box.
Set the URL and the port. You should use an HTTP port. The default Elasticsearch port is 9200. We used the
http://localhost:9200URL in our example. If you access the index with user credentials, add them to the Keystore Path and Keystore Password. In our example, we entered the user credentials for the 'superadmin' user.Edit the
