Elasticsearch Server settings

What do I put here for Elasticsearch Server ?

[AlexWright]

It depends. If it is enabled and running on the localhost (usually the case on a dedicated or VPS environment), then you can use the https://localhost:9200 default in most cases (check your install first!). If you are on shared hosting, it is a likely possibility that it is not installed, and you will need information from a 3rd party elasticsearch provider for use there.

The URL and Port information for your Elasticsearch Server - just like it shows, with the example link there it's to an Elasticsearch server installed on the same server machine as the site (i.e. localhost) and that server is reachable via port 9200.

So....where is your Elasticsearch server exactly?

Ah so there's the problem. Looks like it has to be installed on the server but I did not know that and something I dont think I could do.

There are hosted Elasticsearch options available where they handle the infrastructure for you.

What about CiC customers? - https://localhost:9200 provides an error (Connection refused).

[bfarber]

We do not have a general elasticsearch instance that all CiC customer can use (at this time at least). You would need to use a service (which will provide you with the URL and port to use).

This works when I enter http://localhost:9200, but doesn't work when I enter HTTPS.

Any idea why connecting via HTTPS from this page doesn't work?
