View Elasticsearch data

To use Elasticsearch in Olares, install it from Market first. This guide explains how to access and manage Elasticsearch data using Bytebase.

Install Elasticsearch service

Before connecting, install the Elasticsearch service from Market.

1. Open Market from Launchpad and search for "Elasticsearch".
2. Click Get, then Install, and wait for the installation to complete.

Once installed, the service and its connection details will appear in the Middleware list in Control Hub.

Get connection information

Before connecting, obtain Elasticsearch connection details from Control Hub.

1. Open Control Hub from Launchpad.

2. In the left navigation pane, go to Middleware and select Elasticsearch.

3. On the Details panel, record the following information:

   • Host: Used for Bytebase connection.
   • User: Used for Bytebase connection.
   • Password: Used for Bytebase connection.

   

Manage via Bytebase

Bytebase provides a graphical interface for database management and schema changes.

Prerequisites

MongoDB app required

Bytebase uses MongoDB to store its metadata. Install MongoDB before installing Bytebase.

1. Open Market and search for "MongoDB".
2. Click Get, then Install, and wait until the service is running.
3. After MongoDB is installed, search for "Bytebase" in Market.
4. Click Get, then Install.

First-time setup

When launching Bytebase for the first time, you must configure an administrator account.

TIP

Remember these credentials. Only the admin account can create new database instances.

1. Open Bytebase from Launchpad.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your admin account with email and password.

Create an Elasticsearch instance

1. Log in to Bytebase with your admin account.
2. In the left navigation pane, select Instances, then click + Add Instance.
3. Choose Elasticsearch as the database type.
4. Fill in the connection fields using values from Control Hub:
   • Host or Socket: Enter the Host address and do not include the port.
   • Port: Keep the default, usually 9200.
   • Username: Enter the User value from Control Hub.
   • Password: Enter the Password value from Control Hub.
5. Click Test Connection to verify connectivity, then click Create.

Creating an instance in Bytebase does not create a new database. Once the instance is created, you can use the corresponding client tools to inspect and manage data.
