Access control in elastic search indices

I have an instance of elastic search running and I can see the list of indices by hitting the URL http://165.30.5.62:9300/_cat/indices?v

Now for a particular index I can see the data as http://165.30.5.62:9300/{index}/_search?size=100&pretty=true and it shows me different metrices

My question is that I want an access control on this data inside a specific index so not everyone can see what are the metrices present. How do i enable that in elastic search container

Solution

  • Elasticsearch has built in access control mechanisms but only in Platinum license and its available as a part of XPack features.

    If you are not using platinum license, you may need to implement the access control yourself by creating an Elastic Search plugin.
