I'm working on a project which utilize the elasticsearch REST API. So far, it's so nice but i'm trying to add a new node using REST API but i couldn't. My question is "_Is there any way to add a new elasticsearch node using REST API?_" -- ---

What do you mean by "add a new node"? If you mean "start a new node", I'm afraid you can't as elasticsearch is not really a Node Manager. If you mean "add a running node to an existing cluster", it's automatic if you use the same cluster name (and if multicast is not disabled). Did I answer?

Firstly, i would like to thank you for your quick answer. I know that the elasticsearch is not a node manager. actually, my project is a bout making an admin web console to manage and monitor the Elasticsearch nodes. so, i mean that i want to add a new node (NOT EXIST) to my cluster. So, Is there is any way to do that ?? On Tuesday, December 4, 2012 12:14:42 PM UTC+2, Ashraf Sarhan wrote: > I'm working on a project which utilize the elasticsearch REST API.

No. You have probably to do it yourself. But, if you don't want to reinvent the wheel, you should have a look at puppet/chef integrations: - [GitHub - visibiz/puppet-elasticsearch: Elasticsearch Puppet Module](https://github.com/visibiz/puppet-elasticsearch) - [http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/elasticsearch](http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/elasticsearch) - [GitHub - karmi/cookbook-elasticsearch: https://github.com/elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch](https://github.com/karmi/cookbook-elasticsearch) On my side, I'm going to start a Rudder ([http://www.rudder-project.org](http://www.rudder-project.org)) integration in the next months. Note sure I helped you here :-/ Cheers David Le 4 décembre 2012 à 11:59, Ashraf Sarhan [ashraf.sarhan@silicon-nile.com](mailto:ashraf.sarhan@silicon-nile.com) a écrit : > Firstly, i would like to thank you for your quick answer.

Thanks, David you mean that the elasticsearch REST API does not offer to add a new node. for sure those projects are good but i'm developing my app using java. I think that it will be more convenient to make own app to avoid the integration. Really, your project (rudder [http://www.rudder-project.org/](http://www.rudder-project.org/)) will be great 🙂 On Tuesday, December 4, 2012 1:20:07 PM UTC+2, David Pilato wrote: > No. You have probably to do it yourself. > But, if you don't want to reinvent the wheel, you should have a look at > puppet/chef integrations: > > - [GitHub - visibiz/puppet-elasticsearch: Elasticsearch Puppet Module](https://github.com/visibiz/puppet-elasticsearch) > - [http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/elasticsearch](http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/elasticsearch) > - [GitHub - karmi/cookbook-elasticsearch: https://github.com/elasticsearch/cookbook-elasticsearch](https://github.com/karmi/cookbook-elasticsearch) > > On my side, I'm going to start a Rudder ([http://www.rudder-project.org](http://www.rudder-project.org)) > integration in the next months. > > Note sure I helped you here :-/ > > Cheers > David > > Le 4 décembre 2012 à 11:59, Ashraf Sarhan \<[ashraf...@silicon-nile.com](mailto:ashraf...@silicon-nile.com)\\> > a écrit : > > Firstly, i would like to thank you for your quick answer.

Just a note: rudder is not my project. I was only talking about adding Elasticsearch in Rudder. But, yes, Rudder is, IMHO a cool project! 😉 -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 4 déc. 2012 à 12:52, Ashraf Sarhan [ashraf.sarhan@silicon-nile.com](mailto:ashraf.sarhan@silicon-nile.com) a écrit : > Thanks, David > you mean that the elasticsearch REST API does not offer to add a new node. for sure those projects are good but i'm developing my app using java.
