Configuring the Management Server

---

If you have installed PLOSSYS 5 with a separate management server or in a cluster, perform the following configuration steps on the management server.

---

Configuring Elasticsearch

1. In a PowerShell, open the firewall for Elasticsearch:

   New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Elasticsearch" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 9200 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow
   

2. On the management server, edit the following file:

   C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.yml
   

3. Add the following lines:

   network.host: 0.0.0.0
   discovery.type: single-node
   

4. Save the file.

5. On the management server, edit the following file:

   C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\jvm.options
   

6. Set Max_Heap_Size to at least 50 % of the server's RAM.

   –Xmx<ram_mb>m
   –Xms<ram_mb>m
   

   Example - 2048 MB

   –Xmx2048m
   –Xms2048m
   

   Caution - value

   <ram_mb> is the amount of RAM in Megabyte. You have to set –Xmx<ram_mb>m and –Xms<ram_mb>m to the same value, otherwise Elasticserach will not start.

7. Save the file.

8. In a PowerShell, configure the restart of the Elasticsearch service in case of failure:

   sc.exe failure Elasticsearch reset= 0 actions= restart/60000
   

9. In a PowerShell, restart Elasticsearch:

   restart-service elasticsearch

   C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\config\kibana.yml
   

2. Uncomment the following line:

   server.host: "0.0.0.0"
   

3. Save the file.

4. In a PowerShell, restart Kibana:

   restart-service seal-kibana
