What are the additional features I get when I install the new indexing engine?
If I'm correct, I have most of the additional features listed below:
- Netflow is currently supported on Elastic
- Searching & suggestions on alarms
- New DataMiner versions require Elastic for SRM
- Access to the jobs feature
Just on a side note here. It is correct that the Netflow integration is using Elastic in the background. But this even applies more broadly, any integration that use the so-called LoggerTable capability does require Elastic. Because this type of integration takes data from the third party source, and puts it in Elastic for indexing (e.g. typically integrations that take log files and index those, to big data streams, data sources that are not very well structured, etc.)
Elastic will also be required when using a clustered Cassandra database, as both databases will be needed from that point onwards.
Also from DataMiner 10.0.7 onwards, Elastic is used for the analytics pattern matching feature.
