Understanding Elasticsearch Administration

Elasticsearch provides several REST APIs that can be used to obtain details of a cluster or index in the PeopleSoft implementation. In the absence of a default user interface to administer Elasticsearch, PeopleSoft provides a user interface (called Elasticsearch Interact) that enables you to choose the cluster and index level options on which you want to obtain information from the Elasticsearch search engine. Based on the selected options, PeopleSoft Search Framework generates a URL, which is submitted to Elasticsearch, and the response is displayed on the Elasticsearch Interact page. The Elasticsearch Interact page is accessible from the Search Instance Properties page, and it provides administration requests only for those cluster and index validations that are exposed by PeopleSoft.
