Elastic Stack Configuration Files

---

The load-config.js script reads the JSON files in the following directory and configures the components of SEAL Elastic Stack with their content:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\SEAL Systems\seal-dist-ngn-elasticstack-configuration\configuration\seal-distngn
• Linux: /opt/seal/seal-dist-ngn-elasticstack-configuration/configuration/seal-distngn

For how to run the script, refer to Configure SEAL Elastic Stack on Windows or Linux.

Delivered Configuration

PLOSSYS Distribution Engine delivers the following subdirectories and files in seal-distngn.

aliases

aliases.json defines aliases in Elasticsearch, refer to the Elasticsearch documentation:

• seal-distngn-log-dpf: for the indices seal-dpf-log*, DPF job logs
• seal-distngn-log-dpf-services: for the indices seal-dpf-servicelog*, DPF service logs
• seal-distngn-log-plossys-5: for the indices seal-plossys-5-log*, PLOSSYS Output Engine logs

data-view

log.json defines the data view seal-distngn-log with the index pattern seal-distngn-log* and the time field isoTimestamp. The data view covers all aliases above, refer to the Kibana documentation.

index-pattern

log.json defines the same index pattern for Elastic Stack versions before 8.0. As of Elastic Stack 8.0, index patterns are called data views.
