Set server connection details#

  1. (Optional) Enter Server Username used to access the enterprise search server.

  2. (Optional) Enter Server Password associated with the username.

  3. Set Enable Cluster Sniffing (Optional). Sniffing finds and connects to all data nodes in your cluster automatically.

  4. Optional CA and client certificate configuration settings are available for use with basic authentication credentials or to replace them. See the Enterprise search configuration settings documentation for details.

  5. Select Test Connection and then select Save. If the server connection is unsuccessful you won’t be able to save the configuration or enable searching with Elasticsearch or AWS OpenSearch.

Build the post index of existing messages#

Select Index Now. This process can take up to a few hours depending on the size of the post database and number of messages. The progress percentage can be seen as the index is created. To avoid downtime, set Enable Elasticsearch for search queries to false so that database search is available during the indexing process.
