About this Hands-on Lab

Before you can ingest any data into Elasticsearch, you first need to construct indices for a particular dataset. In this hands-on lab, you will get to define indices in a pre-built Elasticsearch environment in order to prepare the cluster to ingest some data.

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Create the leads_b2b-000001 Index: From the Kibana console, craft a request to create the leads_b2b-000001 index with 1 primary and 0 replica shards.
Create the leads_b2c-000001 Index: From the Kibana console, craft a request to create the leads_b2c-000001 index with 1 primary and 0 replica shards.
Create the sales_b2c-000001 Index: From the Kibana console, craft a request to create the sales_b2c-000001 index with 1 primary and 0 replica shards.

Lab Scenario

You are a system administrator who is in charge of all the Elasticsearch clusters at your company. The business intelligence office wants to ship some sales and leads data to a single-node proof of concept cluster for some testing. You will need create the following indices for them:

leads_b2b-000001
leads_b2c-000001
sales_b2c-000001

Since this is a single-node cluster, each index should be created with 1 primary and 0 replica shards in order to maintain a green cluster state.
