This commit reworks and clarifies the docs for the `discovery-ec2` plugin:
- folds the tiny "Getting started with AWS" into the page on configuration
- spells out the name of each setting in full instead of noting the
`discovery.ec2` prefix at the top of the page.
- replaces each `(Secure)` marker with a sentence describing what that means in
situ
- notes some missing defaults
- clarifies the behaviour of `discovery.ec2.groups` (dependent on `.any_group`)
- clarifies what `discovery.ec2.host_type` is for
- adds `discovery.ec2.tag.TAGNAME` as a (meta-)setting rather than describing
it in a separate section
- notes that the tags mentioned in `discovery.ec2.tag.TAGNAME` cannot contain
colons (see #38406)
- clarifies the EC2-specific interface names and what they're for
- reorders and rewords the recommendations for storage
- expands on why you should not span a cluster across regions
- adds a suggestion on protecting instances against termination during scale-in
- reformat to 80 columns where possible
Fixes#38406
In #38333 and #38350 we moved away from the `discovery.zen` settings namespace
since these settings have an effect even though Zen Discovery itself is being
phased out. This change aligns the documentation and the names of related
classes and methods with the newly-introduced naming conventions.
Renames the following settings to remove the mention of `zen` in their names:
- `discovery.zen.hosts_provider` -> `discovery.seed_providers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.concurrent_connects` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.max_concurrent_resolvers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts.resolve_timeout` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.timeout`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` -> `discovery.seed_addresses`
AWS supports the creation and use of credentials that are only valid for a
fixed period of time. These credentials comprise three parts: the usual access
key and secret key, together with a session token. This commit adds support for
these three-part credentials to the EC2 discovery plugin and the S3 repository
plugin.
Note that session tokens are only valid for a limited period of time and yet
there is no mechanism for refreshing or rotating them when they expire without
restarting Elasticsearch. Nonetheless, this feature is already useful for
nodes that need only run for a few days, such as for training, testing or
evaluation. #29135 tracks the work towards allowing these credentials to be
refreshed at runtime.
Resolves#16428
This PR adds a new option for `host_type`: `tag:TAGNAME` where `TAGNAME` is the tag field you defined for your ec2 instance.
For example if you defined a tag `my-elasticsearch-host` in ec2 and set it to `myhostname1.mydomain.com`, then
setting `host_type: tag:my-elasticsearch-host` will tell Discovery Ec2 plugin to read the host name from the
`my-elasticsearch-host` tag. In this case, it will be resolved to `myhostname1.mydomain.com`.
Closes#22566.
* [DOCS] Show EC2's auto attribute
This documents the `aws_availability_zone` node attribute as part of the `discovery-ec2` plugin. Also fixes outdated usage of "cloud aws".
and be much more stingy about what we consider a console candidate.
* Add `// CONSOLE` to check-running
* Fix version in some snippets
* Mark groovy snippets as groovy
* Fix versions in plugins
* Fix language marker errors
* Fix language parsing in snippets
This adds support for snippets who's language is written like
`[source, txt]` and `["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]`.
This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.
We have 1074 snippets that look like they should be converted to
`// CONSOLE`. At least that is what `gradle docs:listConsoleCandidates`
says. This adds `// NOTCONSOLE` to explicitly mark snippets that
*shouldn't* be converted to `// CONSOLE`. After marking the blindingly
obvious ones this cuts the remaining snippet count to 1032.
When using S3 or EC2, it was possible to use a proxy to access EC2 or S3 API but username and password were not possible to be set.
This commit adds support for this. Also, to make all that consistent, proxy settings for both plugins have been renamed:
* from `cloud.aws.proxy_host` to `cloud.aws.proxy.host`
* from `cloud.aws.ec2.proxy_host` to `cloud.aws.ec2.proxy.host`
* from `cloud.aws.s3.proxy_host` to `cloud.aws.s3.proxy.host`
* from `cloud.aws.proxy_port` to `cloud.aws.proxy.port`
* from `cloud.aws.ec2.proxy_port` to `cloud.aws.ec2.proxy.port`
* from `cloud.aws.s3.proxy_port` to `cloud.aws.s3.proxy.port`
New settings are `proxy.username` and `proxy.password`.
```yml
cloud:
aws:
protocol: https
proxy:
host: proxy1.company.com
port: 8083
username: myself
password: theBestPasswordEver!
```
You can also set different proxies for `ec2` and `s3`:
```yml
cloud:
aws:
s3:
proxy:
host: proxy1.company.com
port: 8083
username: myself1
password: theBestPasswordEver1!
ec2:
proxy:
host: proxy2.company.com
port: 8083
username: myself2
password: theBestPasswordEver2!
```
Note that `password` is filtered with `SettingsFilter`.
We also fix a potential issue in S3 repository. We were supposed to accept key/secret either set under `cloud.aws` or `cloud.aws.s3` but the actual code never implemented that.
It was:
```java
account = settings.get("cloud.aws.access_key");
key = settings.get("cloud.aws.secret_key");
```
We replaced that by:
```java
String account = settings.get(CLOUD_S3.KEY, settings.get(CLOUD_AWS.KEY));
String key = settings.get(CLOUD_S3.SECRET, settings.get(CLOUD_AWS.SECRET));
```
Also, we extract all settings for S3 in `AwsS3Service` as it's already the case for `AwsEc2Service` class.
Closes#15268.
With 2.0, we now bind to `localhost` by default instead of binding to the network card and use its IP address.
When the discovery plugin gets from AWS API the list of nodes that should form the cluster, this list is pinged then. But as each node is bound to `localhost`, ping does not get an answer and the node elects itself as the master node.
`network.host` must be set.
Closes#13589.
Until now we had a cloud-aws plugin which is providing 2 disctinct features:
* discovery on EC2
* snapshot/restore on S3
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
