Start Elasticsearch

Detailed instructions for the agent.

When to Use

• Use this skill when you need to start Elasticsearch locally before running integration tests. If Elasticsearch is already running, there's no need to use this skill.

Instructions

• Check with curl that Elasticsearch is running and accessible. By default, the cluster is expected to be running at http://localhost:9200 with the user elastic and the password changeme. If you can connect to it, there's no need to start a new instance.
• If not, run start-local project with:

curl -fsSL https://elastic.co/start-local | ES_LOCAL_PASSWORD="changeme" sh -s -- -v 9.3.1

• Please run this command within the IGNORE_ME directory of the project so it's never commited.

• Note that you can change the version, accordingly to the version of Elasticsearch you want to run. It's normally the one defined in the pom.xml file of the project. See <elasticsearch.version> property for more details.
