This section describes how to manage the configurations of certain advanced cluster features, such as customizing dictionaries for IK analysis plugin and modifying the elasticsearch.yml parameter.
On the cluster list page, click a cluster ID to enter the cluster details page, and click Advanced Configuration to enter the advanced configuration management page.

Plugin Configuration

IK analysis plugin

In the plugin configuration section, you can see the IK analysis plugin pre-installed in the cluster. For more information on this plugin, please see IK Analysis Plugin for Elasticsearch. You can use it to create an index of Chinese keywords for your data stored in the ES cluster to implement searches.

Click Update Dictionary to enter the dictionary update page, where you can see two options: non-stopwords and stopwords. After selecting the dictionary file to be updated, click Save to hot update it (with no cluster restart needed).

Requirements for dictionary files:

• Dictionary type: There are two categories of words: "non-stopwords" and "stopwords". The "non-stopwords" dictionary specifies IK as the analyzer when data is stored to the ES cluster for index creation. If the data stored contains a word in this category, an index will be created and can be queried and found using keywords. "Stopwords" will be deliberately avoided and will not be indexed.
• Restrictions and requirements: There are certain restrictions and requirements for dictionary files. For example, a dictionary file should contain one word per line and be encoded in UTF-8. For avoidance of confusion, the name of a non-stopword file should not be the same as that of a stopword file. In addition, as dictionary files will be loaded into the memory, you are allowed to upload a maximum of 10 files of up to 10 MB in size each.
• Update process: The list displays the dictionaries that have been uploaded and updated. A new dictionary will be blocked during upload if it does not meet the requirements. After a file is uploaded, it will be displayed in "pending activation" status. After all dictionaries to be updated are uploaded, click Save, and they will be saved to your cluster and take effect. If there is a file that fails to be uploaded or is not in UTF-8 format, a failure will be prompted, and you need to delete the failing file before you can click Save for other ones to take effect.

Viewing configuration items

In the cluster details, click Advanced Configuration to view the configuration items.

For more information on the configuration items, please see Elasticsearch's official documentation.

Modifying configuration item

Click Batch Modify to modify configuration items. Applicable restrictions are as described above.

If the cluster health status is YELLOW or RED, or there is an index in the cluster that has no replicas, you will be prompted to force restart if you try to modify the configuration items. In this case, there will be a high risk if you update the configuration, and you are recommended to repair the cluster status first by adding replicas to all indices.

If you are aware of the risk and still want to update the configuration, you can check the "Force Restart" box and click OK to restart. For more information, please see the figure below:

Click Batch Modify to modify the corresponding configuration items. Applicable restrictions are as described above.
