Chapter 1: Getting Started
In this chapter, we will start using Elasticsearch by downloading the correct version for our operating system, configuring it to perform at its best, and extending it via plugins. By the end of the chapter, we will see how to set it up on Docker, and in a cluster using Elastic Cloud Enterprise (Docker/Kubernetes).
We will cover the following recipes:
- Downloading and installing Elasticsearch
- Setting up networking
- Setting up a node
- Setting up Linux systems
- Setting up different node roles
- Setting up a coordinating-only node
- Setting up an ingestion node
- Installing plugins in Elasticsearch
- Removing a plugin
- Changing logging settings
- Setting up a node via Docker
- Deploying on Elastic Cloud Enterprise
