We want to evaluate CCR plugin in our self hosted es 9.4.x infra. I could not figure out how to request one using this . Can someone guide me on how we can request a developer license and try out the CCR plugin.
Are you running on premise?
If so, I believe you "just" need to activate the "trial":
- Open Kibana for the cluster.
- Go to Management / License Management.
- Start the free 30-day trial.
- Then configure CCR between your clusters.
Key prerequisites for CCR:
- Both clusters must have the same license type
- You need the
managecluster privilege on the local cluster - On the local cluster, relevant nodes need the
remote_cluster_clientrole as documented
Hope that helps
We are running on premise and We dont have kibana in our self hosted infra. Is kibana a must for this? Or can we do this via rest api in Elasticsearch
You can use the API to enable the trial, check the documentation here.
But even if you do not plan to use Kibana, I strongly recommend that you have a Kibana node in your cluster, it makes things way more easier to manage.
Thanks @leandrojmp . We will try this.
