At present, DataMiner only supports Elasticsearch versions in the 6.x range. However, instead of looking into support for Elasticsearch 7, we are now investigating the option of becoming compatible with AWS OpenSearch because of Elastic’s licensing changes. AWS OpenSearch was created as a fork from Elastic 7.10, so this is currently not yet compatible with DataMiner.
Note that this doesn’t mean that we are not compatible with AWS! DataMiner has been compatible with AWS’s Elasticsearch and with Open Distro (an earlier AWS fork of Elasticsearch) since DataMiner version 10.1.1:
- You can set up an Elasticsearch cluster on AWS as long as it is based on an Elasticsearch version in the 6.x range.
- Open Distro versions in the 0.x range are also supported, but keep in mind that Open Distro has been discontinued.
Any Elasticsearch versions from 7.0.0 onwards are not supported at the moment. This includes the new AWS OpenSearch, but this is where we’re looking to make a change soon. So keep your eyes peeled!
Quick summary
Compatible
- Any Elasticsearch 6.1 version
- Any Elasticsearch 6.1 version through AWS from DataMiner 10.1.1/10.2.0 onwards
- Open Distro versions that are based on Elastic 6.x (this is mentioned when you set this up on AWS)
Not compatible (at the moment):
- Elasticsearch 7.0
- OpenSearch by AWS
Hello Skyline team, is this the latest updates regarding the above subject? Because I’m looking to use Elasticsearch as a service on AWS rather than an EC2 instance. I know we have the Elastic Cloud option (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-voru33wi6xs7k?ultron=gobig&hulk=cloud&blade=elasticweb&gambit=mp-b) but, I couldn’t find any information regarding compatibility with DataMiner. Do you have some good news over it or using AWS OpenSearch?
Hi Team,
We would also be interested in exploring AWS OpenSearch for cloud dataminer deployments – is it possible to check if there is any update on this?
Thanks,
Thomas
Hi, what is the latest update on this matter as ElasticSearch 6.x is already EOL. Are there any interim plans for customers who are not able to go onto OpenSearch yet?
If you can’t use OpenSearch and want to move away from Elasticsearch, the best thing to do would be to switch to DataMiner Storage as a Service. This has just been released and allows you to make use of a scalable, easy-to-use, cloud-native storage platform hosted by Skyline. For more info, see https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Advanced_Functionality/Databases/STaaS/STaaS.html.
Note that more information will be added on that same page very soon.
