Hi - this feels like a stupid question, but here goes I would like to run a test1, test2 and demo environment on the same box. The two ways I can think of doing this is a) Use a naming convention on my indexes - so I have a message \_index and data \_type, which I could update to be test1\_message/data b) Run different ES processes on different ports Is there a much better way to approach this that I'm not thinking of?

If you start up extra ES processes it'll use method B by default. If you do this and then set the cluster name to be unique in each of the configs, you'll have N discrete environments to use.
