Synchronization of metadata with ElasticSearch is configured by the following files in directory <TalendRuntimePath>\etc:

  • org.talend.esb.registry.el.sync.server.cfg: This file controls activation of the ElasticSearch access by the service registry server.

    The el.enable property must be set true after ElasticSearch access has been properly configured in order to really enable it.

  • org.talend.esb.registry.el.sync.client.cfg: This file contains access information for ElasticSearch including credentials and SSL keystore information.

    Property name

  • org.talend.esb.registry.el.sync.template.json: This file contains a JSON template with information for preparing and indexing of the metadata for search in ElasticSearch. This template must be consistent with the schema of the metadata.

                      "fields" : {
                        "raw" : {
                          "index" : "not_analyzed",
                          "type" : "string"

                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

Most of the template file needs to be taken over as it is. Only the content of the innermost metadata properties that starts with Custom need to be replaced by the properties matching the elements from the corresponding custom schema.

For the present example, matches are as follows:

  • CustomServiceType: a simple string which should be indexed for search as it is without cutting it into further details.

  • CustomCreationDate: a stringified date where the template contains the format for converting the string back into a date.

  • CustomDescription: a string which should be cut into words for full-text search.

  • CustomServiceOwner: a string which should be cut into words for full-text search, but at the same time the raw string should be searchable as a whole.
