Create an Elastic Cloud deployment

Visit https://cloud.elastic.co and sign up for a free trial, or sign in to your account. Create a deployment.

Make sure that you take note of the CLOUD ID and Elastic Password.

Set the credentials

There are two files to edit to create a k8s secret when you are connecting to the managed Elasticsearch Service in Elastic Cloud. The files are:

  1. ELASTIC_CLOUD_AUTH
  2. ELASTIC_CLOUD_ID

Set these with the information provided to you from the Elasticsearch Service console when you created the deployment. Here are some examples:

ELASTIC_CLOUD_ID

devk8s:ABC123def456ghi789jkl123mno456pqr789stu123vwx456yza789bcd012efg345hijj678klm901nop345zEwOTJjMTc5YWQ0YzQ5OThlN2U5MjAwYTg4NTIzZQ==

ELASTIC_CLOUD_AUTH

Just the username, a colon (:), and the password, no whitespace or quotes:

elastic:VFxJJf9Tjwer90wnfTghsn8w

Edit the required files:

vi ELASTIC_CLOUD_ID
vi ELASTIC_CLOUD_AUTH

Create a Kubernetes secret

This command creates a secret in the Kubernetes system level namespace (kube-system) based on the files you just edited:

kubectl create secret generic dynamic-logging \
  --from-file=./ELASTIC_CLOUD_ID \
  --from-file=./ELASTIC_CLOUD_AUTH \
  --namespace=kube-system

Continue with the install
