How to setup a second elastic cluster

You will need a docker or a vm to run multiple elasticsearch nodes on the same pc.

  1. You can change the cluster name to your liking. Just change cluster.name: whatever in the yml
  2. Yes you can point to a new storage path.data: C:\\path\\to\\your\\data (On windows)
  3. You will have to decide which cluster you want to look at. In the kibana.yml you can set server.host: "YourElasticIP" to connect to a different node.
