Connect to Elasticsearch Server

Learn to create a connection to Elasticsearch Server to use as a target in an OCI GoldenGate replication.

Before you begin

Before you create the connection, ensure that you review how OCI GoldenGate connects to your source and targets.

Create the connection

To create a Elasticsearch Server connection:
  1. From the OCI GoldenGate Overview page, click Connections.
    You can also click Create Connection under the Get started section and skip to step 3.
  2. On the Connections page, click Create Connection.
  3. In the Create Connection panel, complete the General Information fields as follows:
    1. For Name, enter a name for the connection.
    2. (Optional) For Description, enter a description that helps you distinguish this connection from others.
    3. For Compartment, select the compartment in which to create the connection.
    4. From the Type dropdown, under Big Data, select Elasticsearch Server.
    5. (Optional) Click Show advanced options to manage keys or add tags.
      1. Under Security, select one of the following:
        • Select Use Oracle-managed encryption key to leave all encryption key management to Oracle.
        • Select Use customer-managed encryption key to select a specific encryption key stored in your OCI Vault to encrypt your connection credentials.
      2. Under Tags, add tags to organize your resources.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Complete the Connection details as follows:
    1. For Servers, enter a comma separated list of Elasticsearch Server server addresses, in <host>:<port> format.

      Note:

      OCI GoldenGate rewrites the private IP in the format, ip-10-0-0-0.ociggsvc.oracle.vcn.com.
    2. From the Authentication type dropdown, select one of the following:
      • None
      • Basic authentication, if selected, enter the Username and Password.
    3. For Security protocol, select from the following options:
      • Plain
      • TLS, and then enter the Fingerprint.
    4. For Network connectivity, select a Traffic routing method:
      • Shared endpoint, to share an endpoint with the assigned deployment. You must allow connectivity from the deployment's ingress IP.
      • Dedicated endpoint, for network traffic through a dedicated endpoint in the assigned subnet in your VCN. You must allow connectivity from this connection's ingress IPs.
  6. Click Create.

The connection takes a few minutes to become Active. Ensure that you assign the connection to a Big Data deployment to use it as a target in a data replication.
