How to install Search Guard 5 in cluster of nodes?

Search Guard
1

I want to secure Elasticsearch and Kibana using Search Guard 5 plugin. Search Guard SSL is bundled with Search Guard 5.

I have got three nodes cluster. One of them is master. My question is

  • do I have to install Search Guard 5 on every node or only on master node? And what about configuration files? Do I have to chnage config files on every node?

And one more question - if I installed Search Guard 5 can I use SG-SSL documentation? Or SG-SSL documentation is only for SG-SSL plugin?

Hi,

Yes you need to install SG on all nodes that will speak the node/transport protocol: data nodes, master nodes and client nodes. This implies that the configuration file (elasticsearch.yml) needs to be configured properly for SG on all nodes.
