ElasticSearch

Elasticsearch is a powerful, open-source, distributed search and analytics engine. It is built on Apache Lucene and is designed to handle a wide variety of data types, including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured data. Elasticsearch is known for its high scalability, real-time search capabilities, and ease of use. This makes it a flexible and robust solution for managing complex and large-scale data in various applications.

Configuration

The following configuration settings are available for Elasticsearch, which are specified under the store.<name> section of the configuration file:

• type: Specifies the type of store, set to "elasticsearch" for Elasticsearch.
• url: The URL of the Elasticsearch cluster.
• user: The username used for authentication with the Elasticsearch cluster.
• password: The password for the specified user.
• cloud-id: An optional setting used when connecting to Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud. It is a unique identifier for your Elasticsearch Service deployment.
• tls.allow-invalid-certs: Determines whether to allow connections with invalid TLS certificates. This is a boolean setting, and setting it to true can be useful in development or testing environments.

Index Configuration

The following configuration settings are available for the index where Stalwart Mail Server stores its data, which are specified under the store.<name>.index section of the configuration file:

• shards: Specifies the number of primary shards that an index should have. Shards are the basic unit of scalability in Elasticsearch.
• replicas: Sets the number of replica shards (copies) that each primary shard should have. Replicas provide high availability and redundancy.

Example

[store."elasticsearch"]
type = "elasticsearch"
url = "https://localhost:9200"
user = "elastic"
password = "myelasticpassword"
#cloud-id = "my-cloud-id"
disable = true

[store."elasticsearch".tls]
allow-invalid-certs = true

[store."elasticsearch".index]
shards = 3
replicas = 0
