By default, MobileFirst Analytics comes with an in-built elasticsearch. I would like to know if there is a way, i can use an elastic search cluster configured on a different host and point it to the MobileFirst Analytics (instead of using the out-of-box one)
I found an article in the Knowledge center to add a stand-alone elasticsearch node, but i couldn't see where to set the host details of the external elasticsearch.
Please advice.Thank you.
If you want MobileFirst Platform Analytics to join a cluster with a machine in a different host name then you need to indicate where that Eleasticsearch instance is. You can specify that as a JNDI property
<jndiEntry jndiName="analytics/discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts" value="['yourotherhost:port','otherhost:otherport']" />
