id: "<elastic-cloud-id>"
},
index: "search-ui-examples", // index name where the search documents are contained

search_fields
object is required with all fields you want to search by.This connector will talk to the elasticsearch instance directly from the browser. This requires further additional steps to keep your Elasticsearch instance secure as possible. You have the following options available to you to keep any sensitive data protected
This envolves building an API route that will proxy the elasticsearch call through your API. During the proxy, you are able to:
To do this, provide the host to be the location of the API. Example host: "https://search.acme.co/search", index: "movies"
. In this example, you would need to implement a POST endpoint for https://search.acme.co/search/movies/_search
. When the connector performs a network request, the Elasticsearch Query DSL will be contained within the body.
You can restrict access to indices via an api-key. See kibana API keys guide
