Step 10
To allocate an elastic IP and associate it with an AWS instance, do the following:
Click the Elastic IPs link in the EC2 Dashboard, and then click the Allocate Elastic IP address button.
Next, choose your region and click the Allocate button.
Follow the below image to set the elastic IP name, and then click the Associate this Elastic IP address button.
Choose your desired EC2 instance from the drop-down list of running instances and click Associate.
Please ensure that you check and verify the Elastic IPs that are set on your EC2 instance.
Step 11
Next, we connect the EC2 instance and set up Elasticsearch. Please refer to the image below and follow the instructions.
Step 12
That’s done. Let’s first install Java. Elasticsearch uses Java, so installing it is mandatory. In your terminal, run:
sudo yum install java-1.8.0 -y
Next, we install the latest Elasticsearch. In your terminal, run step by step all commands:
curl -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.11.4-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
curl https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.11.4-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz.sha512 | shasum -a 512 -c -
sha512sum -c elasticsearch-8.11.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha512
tar -xzf elasticsearch-8.11.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
cd elasticsearch-8.11.4/
Step 13
Run Elasticsearch from the command line:
./bin/elasticsearch
Step 14
The elasticsearch.yml file needs to be configured. To navigate the.yml file and make changes, use the command below and make changes as per the attached images.
cd config
sudo vi elasticsearch.yml
Step 15
Run from the command line:
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
Step 16
Return to the Elasticsearch path and launch Elasticsearch with the following command.
elasticsearch-8.11.4/
./bin/elasticsearch
Step 17
Please share the password for the Elastic user as per the attached image.
Step 18
It is correct to see the below image result, which shows that Elasticsearch is running. Click on the below URL, modify the IPV4 address (use your instance IPV4 address), and then enter your username and password.
Step 19
Please follow the image and use the command "ctr + c" to stop Elasticsearch. Then, run:
nohup ./bin/elasticsearch
to run it in the background. Elasticsearch will continue to run in the background even if you close the command prompt.
Step 20
First, create a new user with "superuser" role and ensure that you pass basic auth in the Auth tab by entering a username and password.
Step 21
Finally, share the Elastic IP address for your Elasticsearch and the superuser username and password.
Example:
Elasticsearch URL: https://{elastic_ip_address}:9200/
Username: test1
Password: *******
