While creating a new domain you can specify the number of instances, instance types, and EBS volumes you want allocated to your domain. You can also modify or delete existing Amazon Elasticsearch domains using the console.
Does Amazon Elasticsearch Service support Amazon VPC?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Yes, Amazon Elasticsearch Service is integrated with Amazon VPC. When choosing VPC access, IP addresses from your VPC are attached to your Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain and all network traffic stays within the AWS network and is not accessible to the Internet. Moreover, you can use security groups and IAM policies to restrict access to your Amazon Elasticsearch Service domains.
Can I use CloudFormation Templates to provision Amazon ES domains?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Yes. AWS CloudFormation supports Amazon ES. For more information, see the CloudFormation Template Reference documentation.
Does Amazon Elasticsearch Service support configuring dedicated master nodes?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Yes. You can configure dedicated master nodes for your domains. When choosing a dedicated master configuration, you can specify the instance type and instance count.
Can I create multiple Elasticsearch indices within a single Amazon Elasticsearch domain?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Yes. You can create multiple Elasticsearch indices within the same Amazon Elasticsearch domain. Elasticsearch automatically distributes the indices and any associated replicas between the instances allocated to the domain.
How do I ingest data into my Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Amazon Elasticsearch Service supports three options for data ingestion:
For large data volumes, we recommend Amazon Kinesis Firehose, a fully managed service that automatically scales to match the throughput of your data and requires no ongoing administration. It can also transform, batch and compress the data before loading it.
Amazon Elasticsearch Service supports integration with Logstash. You can configure your Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain as the data store for all logs arriving from your Logstash implementation.
You can use native Elasticsearch APIs, such as the index and bulk APIs, to load data into your domain.
Does Amazon Elasticsearch Service support integration with Logstash?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Yes. Amazon Elasticsearch Service supports integration with Logstash. You can set up your Amazon Elasticsearch domain as the backend store for all logs coming through your Logstash implementation. You can set up access control on your Amazon Elasticsearch domain to either use request signing to authenticate calls from your Logstash implementation, or use resource based IAM policies to include IP addresses of instances running your Logstash implementation.
Does Amazon Elasticsearch Service support integration with Kibana?
Setup and Configuration
Amazon Elasticsearch Service | Analytics
Yes. Amazon Elasticsearch Service includes a built-in Kibana install that is deployed with your Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain.
Can I create custom reports with the Kibana installation included with Amazon Elasticsearch Service?
