Support for an external Elasticsearch cluster for on-premises deployments
Valid from Pega Version 8.1
On-premises customers can configure an Elasticsearch cluster that is external to the Pega Platform™ by using client-server mode. Using an external search configuration makes Elasticsearch more highly available and scalable.
You can view the status of your external Elasticsearch service on the Search landing page. For more information, see link to Viewing the status of an external search service.
Improved search indexing performance
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
Search indexing now uses a queue processor to improve indexing performance. Indexing can automatically restart if the database goes down temporarily. This saves time and manual action. As a result of using the queue processor for indexing, the following changes have been made to the Search Landing page.
- You cannot cancel indexing from the Search landing page. Cancel indexing by stopping the queue processor from the Data flow landing page.
- The progress message is not shown. View progress on the Queue Processor landing page.
- Queue processor information has been added.
For more information, see Stopping or pausing search reindexing.
