Specifying Proxy Parameters in Elasticsearch

In Elasticsearch, if you want to crawl Web sites outside of your network, you need to specify the proxy parameters in the elasticsearch.yml configuration file.

To specify the proxy parameters:

  1. Open the elasticsearch.yml configuration file, which is available at <ES_HOME>/config.

  2. Locate the Web Crawler section, and enter your network proxy values for the following parameters:

    • orcl.proxy.host - Enter the network proxy host.

    • orcl.proxy.port - Enter the network proxy port.

  3. Save the elasticsearch.yml file.
