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?

@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.

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.

Good news! We've added this (basic authentication) in the 2019 beta (b19151). It also allows Elasticsearch to be used as a web connection.
Please let us know if there are any issues.
