Factory Reset Tool – Clean remote Elastic nodes

Hi Dojo,

I am currently using the Factory Reset Tool (SLReset.exe) to clean a DMA that is configured with two remote Elastic nodes. The DB.xml file looks as follows:

<DataBase active="true" search="true" type="Elasticsearch">
  <DBServer>10.11.12.13,10.11.12.14</DBServer>
  <UID></UID>
  <PWD>myPassword</PWD>
</DataBase>

I execute the tool as follows:

SLReset.exe -u administrator -p myOtherPassword -y

Checking the output generated, I see the following error:

Cleaning db of type Elastic hosted on 10.11.12.13,10.11.12.14

Please could you confirm if the factory reset tool supports cleaning remote Elastic nodes?
If it is supported, should I use SLDataGateway.Tools.Database.exe instead of SLReset.exe?

Hello,

About this tool, we are currently disabling any Elastic reset that it does by default. Since it's a clustered database, it has too many edge cases and possibilities where an unexpected outcome would occur. We feel that including this in the tool may lead to unrecoverable situations for a cluster.

I think initially, it was designed to delete all indices from a cluster (remote or local).

Kind regards,

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the information. Please, if possible, could you update the Dojo page with this information?

Hello Miguel,

Once this change is pushed, we will change documentation accordingly 🙂
