Creating a Elasticsearch Database

This page covers the configuration specific to Elasticsearch — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.

Database Mode

Select the topology under Database Mode:

  • Combined — A single pool of nodes that perform all roles (master, data, ingest). Simpler; best for smaller deployments.
  • Topology — Role-separated nodes split into Master, Data, and Ingest tiers, each scaled and resourced independently.

Topology mode selected showing Master, Data, and Ingest node panels

Node Description
Master Manages cluster state and coordination.
Data Stores shards and serves indexing/search traffic.
Ingest Pre-processes documents via ingest pipelines before indexing.

Each tier has its own Number of Replicas, Storage size, Machine, CPU, and Memory fields. You may also select the security Auth Plugin (e.g., X-Pack, OpenSearch, OpenDistro, SearchGuard).

Create a Elasticsearch Database

  1. Open the wizard and select Elasticsearch — see Getting Started and Select a Database Type.
  2. Set the namespace and name.
  3. Pick the database version and the Database Mode described above, then set the machine profile and storage — see Configure the Database.
  4. Optionally configure Advanced Configuration (labels, deletion policy, credentials, point-in-time recovery) and Additional Options (monitoring, backup, TLS, gateway).
  5. Click Deploy.
