How to secure elasticsearch on kubernetes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello, i have ELK deployed on a k8s cluster with helm charts. i wanted to add security to Elasticsearch so i can add users and control the access. but since i'm new to ELK i didn't know how or i found a good solution for it.

i added these lines in Elasticsearch values.yml file :

esConfig: 
  elasticsearch.yml: |
    xpack.security.enabled: true
    xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
    xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: full
    xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/certs-gen/keystore.p12
    xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/certs-gen/keystore.p12

i know adding these lines alone isn't enough, but what am i supposed to add after this.

any help on this ? thanks for reading

Have u looked at Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [2.2] | Elastic at all? It handles security fo u.

With ECK, u really don't need any additional settings as ECK will setup all the certificates and stuff for u. I'd just do exactly what the docs walk u through and then u can start to make config changes once ur up and running.
