I have an elasticsearch instance that requires a password for writing. Am I understanding this correctly that FME can't write to a secure elastic search?

Good news! We've added this (basic authentication) in the 2019 beta (b19151). It also allows Elasticsearch to be used as a web connection.

@janb FME does not yet support authentication for Elasticsearch (as of FME 2018 and earlier). Can you confirm if your database is using X-Pack (formerly Shield) , or are have you implemented an alternative authetication plug-in?

Hi Mark

I don't know a log about Elastic search so forgive me if I am not able to answer your question in lots of details. we are using the https://readonlyrest.com/ for authentication.

Hi Mark

 

since authentification for Elasticsearch is currently not possible: what would you recommend doing? We do not have an authentication plugin for elasticsearch implemented yet, but we will.

 

- what could we do now in order to write into shielded elasticsearch?

 

Thanks!

 

 


Hi,

I am currently trying to use an cloud elasticsearch (test instance on elastic.co) instance with fme. It requires authentication.

Is there any plan to implement security with elastic?

Thanks.
