Creating Elasticsearch Data Connections

Before establishing a data connection to Elasticsearch, ensure that the following conditions are met:

You have obtained the IP address and port number of the Elasticsearch data source.
A CDM cluster is used as the network agent to ensure that DLV can communicate with Elasticsearch. A CDM cluster is available and can communicate with Elasticsearch.

Log in to the DLV console.
On the Data page, click the workspace drop-down list at the top of the page, select the workspace to be accessed, and click New Data Connection.

When you create a connection to Elasticsearch, configure the parameters as described in Table 1.

**Table 1** Elasticsearch data connection parameters
Parameter	Description
Name	Name of the data connection. Must contain 1 to 32 characters and contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
Host	Intranet IP address of the Elasticsearch cluster to be connected.
Port	Port number of the Elasticsearch cluster to be connected.
Security Mode	Whether the security mode will be enabled for the Elasticsearch cluster you want to connect to. By default, the security mode is disabled.
Username	Administrator account name of the Elasticsearch cluster. This parameter is valid only when Security Mode is enabled.
Password	Administrator password of the Elasticsearch cluster. This parameter is valid only when Security Mode is enabled.
Agent	Select an available connection agent, such as VPC connection, CDM proxy, or Internet. NOTE: Elasticsearch is not a fully managed service and thus cannot be directly connected to DLV. A CDM cluster serves as an agent that enables communication between them.
schema	Enter a mapping name that is different from the index name.
