Elasticsearch Configuration and Test Results

3 pointsozzimpact3 comments

Hi there, I just got elasticsearch up and running with this configuration (http://ozzimpact.github.io/development/elasticsearch-configuration-tuning/). You can see test results and some explicit configuration. I would be delighted if you criticize my configuration.Thanks.

Write Heavy is when you are mainly using your ES cluster to log data while your searches are minimal in comparison. Logging is a typical example of this (you save a lot of data but only sporadically do you do searches or aggregates on this).

You might find this an interesting page to read: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/...

This looks like a good basic configuration.

You should add a note that this is for a read-heavy ES cluster.

If you have a write-heavy cluster (thinking ELK), you'll want a different config with more focus on bulk and index.

Well, thanks for your comment. Actually I don't know the difference between read-heavy and write-heavy cluster, could you be more explicit? By the way I have ELK so according to you it should be write-heavy cluster, can you suggest me any configuration or show me where to look?
