Elasticsearch Client Setup

info

Requires Elasticsearch >= 8.0

Configuration requires two steps:

1. Configure an Elasticsearch client via Pimcore Elasticsearch Client.
2. Assign the client to the Generic Data Index bundle with client_type: 'elasticsearch'.

# 1. Elasticsearch client configuration
pimcore_elasticsearch_client:
    es_clients:
      default:
        hosts: ['elastic:9200']
        username: 'elastic'
        password: 'somethingsecret'
        logger_channel: 'pimcore.elasticsearch'

# 2. Assign client to Generic Data Index (default client_type is 'openSearch')
pimcore_generic_data_index:
    index_service:
        client_params:
            client_name: default
            client_type: 'elasticsearch'

For additional client options, see the Pimcore Elasticsearch Client documentation.

Disable Auto-Index Creation

Elasticsearch creates indices automatically when storing data to a nonexistent index. This causes incorrect indices and missing aliases. Disable this in your Elasticsearch configuration:

action.auto_create_index=false
