By using index aliases in Elasticsearch, we can search one or more indices using a friendly, non-permanent name. In this hands-on lab, you will create, use, and remove aliases in Elasticsearch.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Add the Alias “sample_data” to the Appropriate Indices
From the Kibana console, apply the
sample_dataalias to thekibana_sample_data_ecommerce,kibana_sample_data_flights, andkibana_sample_data_logsindices.- Add the Alias “othello” to the `shakespeare` Index with the Necessary Filtering
From the Kibana console, apply the
othelloalias, which should filter documents where theplay_name.keywordfield is "Othello", to theshakespeareindex.- Configure the “sample_data” Component Template and “sample_data_bank” Index Template with the Appropriate Aliases
From the Kibana console, do the following:
- Create the component template
sample_data, which should be configured to apply thesample_dataalias. - Create the
sample_data_bankindex template, which should:- Match indices that start with "accounts-"
- Be composed of the
sample_datacomponent template. - Include the
bankalias. - Be configured to create indices with one primary and zero replica shards.
- Create the component template
