Elasticsearch requires optimization

[Tom McIntyre]

I have been getting errors from Elasticsearch, but I thought it was working most of the time.

I was reviewing the installation and saw the message in the title. When I clicked on optimize now, I got this error display.

XFES\Elasticsearch\ConnectException: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 20001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) in src/addons/XFES/Elasticsearch/Api.php at line 390

This isn't related to my add-on but is a configuration issue with ElasticSearch.

You'll need to check the elasticsearch server logs for hints, but this is normally not enough memory assigned to ElasticSearch or too much and it is paging. Hosting ElasticSearch on SSDs or better NVMe SSDs helps a lot.

Since this was deleting the index to recreate it, just try again and see if it works as it might work after it has a chance to do some work in the background.

I do not have the personal resources to maintain the Elasticsearch Server. Has anyone used the Elastic Cloud Service from Elasticsearch?

Is it possible to just get an AWS server (or some other provider) and have Elasticsearch manage it with the Extended Search package and our local addons?

 

[Tom McIntyre]

In looking at AWS I saw they offer Opensearch which seems to offer the same services as the standard Elasticsearch. Will the Extended Search Official Addon work with AWS Opensearch?

My first impression is that the Free service level from AWS would be adequate to operate our Elasticsearch server. We would need to drop back to ES 7.10 to use Opensearch but I do not think that would affect our use of Extended Search or @Xon's addons. Is that correct? Does anyone have experience in this area.

 

[Xon]

XF Enhanced Search and my add-on haven't been updated to support AWS Opensearch yet.

 

[Tom McIntyre]

How about the purchased service from Elastic with their management? I have not priced that but our system seems farily small by their standards.

What are the specs of your current ElasticSearch Server? What else is running on that server?

I have three dedicated ES servers (three different sites in three different geographic locations) - once they are set up and correctly configured, they require very little maintenance.
