Bug fixes
#303 and #304 Set trial license only when xpackPlugins = "Yes"
There was a bug whereby a trial license was being applied when xpackPlugins = "No"
, but the version of Elasticsearch is one whereby security can be configured with a basic license i.e. >= 6.8.0 and < 7.0.0, and >=7.1.0. This has now been fixed.
This bug could be worked around in previous template versions, and revert to a basic license by
or
-
callling the start basic license API:
POST /_license/start_basic?acknowledge=true
acknowledge=true
is passed to acknowledge that reverting to a basic license loses features.
In both cases, license information is stored in cluster state, and supersedes the setting in elasticsearch.yml. Please note that using the basic license with security enabled (which is highly recommended) requires at least configuring TLS for the Elasticsearch Transport layer. Reverting to the basic license should be done after configuring TLS for the transport layer.
#304 Configure Network Security Group when using Standard external LB
When a Standard SKU external LB is chosen, the backend pool of VMs are required to be part of a Network Security Group (NSG) to allow traffic to be successfully routed. An NSG is now configured when a Standard SKU external LB is chosen.
