Is it necessary to install X-Pack for Elasticsearch? What are some essential X-pack commands?

Answer»

Yes, if you are using ElasticSearch, you must INSTALL X-Pack. In essence, X-Pack is an Elastic Stack extension that combines or bundles alerting, REPORTING, monitoring, security, and graph capabilities into a single package that can be installed quickly and easily. ALTHOUGH the components of the X-Pack work seamlessly together, you can enable or disable the features you need. SINCE X-Pack is an Elastic Stack extension, you will need to install both Elasticsearch and Kibana before installing X-Pack. The version of X-Pack must match Elasticsearch and Kibana versions.

The following are a few X-Pack commands that can help you configure security and perform other TASKS:

  • elasticsearch-certgen
  • elasticsearch-certutil
  • elasticsearch-reset-password
  • elasticsearch-setup-passwords
  • elasticsearch-syskeygen
  • elasticsearch-users, etc.
