[Codeless]

hy some can tell me if my server is configured properly and working fine
here is screen print

Sorry to say i am newbie

 

[Codeless]

i am asking bcoz when i search anything
i got message
Search Results for Query: PayPal

1. No results found.

 

[Mike]

Have you built the search index after switching on ES? It doesn't look like it by those stats.

 

[Codeless]

yes Mike its working fine now. that was my first attempt

Hey @Mike can you check my config as well?

Search Settings:

The Index name is same as Cluster Right? in cluster.name: (elasticsearch.yml)

Also what does this do "Enable recency weighted relevance searching with specified half-life (days)" i don't understand

this description here:

The half-life allows you to control how heavily weighted more recent documents are. For every X days old the document is, the document's relevancy score will be halved. Smaller values will weight more recent documents more heavily.

is to vague for me.

as for elasticsearch

are these values correct?

/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
#       Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
#       understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please see the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html>
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
 cluster.name: Xenportal
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
# node.name: node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
# node.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
 path.data: /var/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
 path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
# bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the `ES_HEAP_SIZE` environment variable is set to about half the memory
# available on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
 network.host: 127.0.0.1
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
 http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html>
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when new node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
# discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
#
# Prevent the "split brain" by configuring the majority of nodes (total number of nodes / 2 + 1):
#
# discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 3
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery.html>
#
# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
#
# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
#
# gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html>
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Disable starting multiple nodes on a single system:
#
# node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
#
# Require explicit names when deleting indices:
#
# action.destructive_requires_name: true

and /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch

i have 64 Gig Ram but i only allowed 8Gig for heap

also from the library/XenES/_scripts folder i copied

xf-date-weighted.groovy
xf-date-weighted.mvel

to /etc/elasticsearch/scripts

also /var/elasticsearch folder

i ran chmod 755 on it & chown -R elasticsearch:elasticsearch

+ chkconfig --add elasticsearch
chkconfig elasticsearch on

then service elasticsearch start

i am on Cent OS 6.8 running WHM/Cpanel Apache 2.4, PHP 7

and i allowed ports 9200 & 9300 in IPV4 TCP In on Config Server FireWall (CSF)

This All Correct?

Unless you have a specific reason to do otherwise, you should leave the index name blank. As is, your index name has disallowed characters (see the description; it's lowercase only). Beyond that, the configuration is mostly down to your preferences.

You haven't explained whether you're getting any errors or what problems you're having (once you fix the index name).

 

[XxUnkn0wnxX]

its working now i solved the lowercase thing.. custom index name is working fine as well..
