Repository
Aiimi Insight Engine only supports Elasticsearch as the repository. It is a schema-less, JSON based search and analytics engine. It's scalable and resilient due to its clustering and replication capabilities. https://www.elastic.co/
Key Information
Elasticsearch requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Elasticsearch ships with a JVM so there is no need to install one yourself.
It requires the security within Elasticsearch to be operational. All communication is over SSL and needs usernames and passwords for access.
You need an XPack license. It provides extra capabilities like 3rd line support for your Elasticsearch clusters.
Depending on your Aiimi Insight Engine subscription a licence may be included. Your Aiimi contact will be able to clarify this for you.
A production environment uses a multi-node cluster to run data and proxy nodes.
This will be discussed as part of your deployment options.
Elasticsearch supports both Microsoft and Linux operating systems.
We recommend using Kibana as a user interface. It allows access to indexes and various reporting tools.
It provides a series of capabilities including cluster monitoring. This is very useful for administrators of large clusters.
This should be locked down to key users only.
