Installation requirements

Elasticsearch

The Elasticsearch search provider module currently supports Elasticsearch 7.4.2, available here. If your Elasticsearch cluster is using X-Pack, please consult our dedicated page related to X-Pack configuration.

Jahia modules

The required modules can be deployed on your Jahia environment by using the Augmented Search - Distribution package available on our store, or by installing its modules individually:

Database connector
Elasticsearch connector 7
Augmented Search
Augmented Search UI

Setup

Elasticsearch connection

In the Jahia administration UI, go into Configuration>Database Connector
Create a new connection, by clicking on the New connection button.

Select the elastic database type.

Create a new Elasticsearch connection by filling the following settings:

Host
The IP/hostname of your Elasticsearch server
Port
The port used by your Elasticsearch server
Id
The name of the Elasticsearch connection you are creating
Cluster Name
Your Elasticsearch cluster.name property

If using X-Pack, open the Advanced tab, select Use XPack Security and enter a username and password (the default values are elastic/changeme).

Then the connection is created.

Elasticsearch setup

In Administration, go to Configuration>Elasticsearch management.

Verify that the Elasticsearch database connection ID corresponds to the one previously created (in our example "esConnection"), and click Save. This will trigger a reindexing of the platform.

It is possible to start reindexing from the same screen. A job will perform the reindexing in background.
