  • Key applications: enterprise search, log analytics, SIEM, and observability.

Cluster Architecture

  • Node roles: master, data, coordinating, and ingest.
  • Security plugin configuration: internode TLS, certificates, and PKI.
  • Preventing split-brain scenarios via discovery.seed_hosts and minimum master node settings.

Data Ingestion

  • Indexing via REST API, bulk data loading, and mapping definitions.
