Properties

AccessPolicies

An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy document that specifies who can access the Amazon ES domain and their permissions. For more information, see Configuring Access Policies in the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide.

Required: No

Type: Json

Update requires: No interruption

AdvancedOptions

Additional options to specify for the Amazon ES domain. For more information, see Configuring Advanced Options in the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide.

Required: No

Type: Map of String

Update requires: No interruption

AdvancedSecurityOptions

Specifies options for fine-grained access control.

Required: No

Type: AdvancedSecurityOptionsInput

Update requires: Replacement

CognitoOptions

Configures Amazon ES to use Amazon Cognito authentication for Kibana.

Required: No

Type: CognitoOptions

Update requires: No interruption

DomainEndpointOptions

Specifies additional options for the domain endpoint, such as whether to require HTTPS for all traffic or whether to use a custom endpoint rather than the default endpoint.

Required: No

Type: DomainEndpointOptions

Update requires: No interruption

DomainName

A name for the Amazon ES domain. For valid values, see the DomainName data type in the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide. If you don't specify a name, AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the domain name. For more information, see Name Type.

Important

If you specify a name, you cannot perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

EBSOptions

The configurations of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to data nodes in the Amazon ES domain. For more information, see Configuring EBS-based Storage in the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide.

Required: No

Type: EBSOptions

Update requires: No interruption

ElasticsearchClusterConfig

ElasticsearchClusterConfig is a property of the AWS::Elasticsearch::Domain resource that configures the cluster of an Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) domain.

Required: No

Type: ElasticsearchClusterConfig

Update requires: No interruption

ElasticsearchVersion

The version of Elasticsearch to use, such as 2.3. If not specified, 1.5 is used as the default. For information about the versions that Amazon ES supports, see the Elasticsearch-Version parameter for the CreateElasticsearchDomain action in the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide.

If you set the UpgradeElasticsearchVersion update policy to true, you can update ElasticsearchVersion without interruption. When UpgradeElasticsearchVersion is set to false, or is not specified, updating ElasticsearchVersion results in replacement.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Some interruptions

EncryptionAtRestOptions

Whether the domain should encrypt data at rest, and if so, the AWS Key Management Service key to use.

Required: No

Type: EncryptionAtRestOptions

Update requires: Some interruptions

LogPublishingOptions

An object with one or more of the following keys: SEARCH_SLOW_LOGS, ES_APPLICATION_LOGS, INDEX_SLOW_LOGS, AUDIT_LOGS, depending on the types of logs you want to publish. Each key needs a valid LogPublishingOption value. See here for the full syntax.

Required: No

Type: Map of LogPublishingOption

Update requires: No interruption

NodeToNodeEncryptionOptions

Specifies whether node-to-node encryption is enabled.

Required: No

Type: NodeToNodeEncryptionOptions

Update requires: Some interruptions

SnapshotOptions

DEPRECATED. The automated snapshot configuration for the Amazon ES domain indices.

Required: No

Type: SnapshotOptions

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

An arbitrary set of tags (key–value pairs) to associate with the Amazon ES domain.

Required: No

Type: List of Tag

Update requires: No interruption

VPCOptions

The virtual private cloud (VPC) configuration for the Amazon ES domain. For more information, see VPC Support for Amazon Elasticsearch Service Domains in the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide.

Required: No

Type: VPCOptions

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When the logical ID of this resource is provided to the Ref intrinsic function, Ref returns the resource name, such as mystack-elasticsea-abc1d2efg3h4. For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

Fn::GetAtt returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. For more information, see Fn::GetAtt. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

Arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the domain, such as arn:aws:es:us-west-2:123456789012:domain/mystack-elasti-1ab2cdefghij. This returned value is the same as the one returned by AWS::Elasticsearch::Domain.DomainArn.
DomainArn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the domain, such as arn:aws:es:us-west-2:123456789012:domain/mystack-elasti-1ab2cdefghij. This returned value is the same as the one returned by AWS::Elasticsearch::Domain.Arn.
DomainEndpoint: The domain-specific endpoint that's used for requests to the Elasticsearch APIs, such as search-mystack-elasti-1ab2cdefghij-ab1c2deckoyb3hofw7wpqa3cm.us-west-1.es.amazonaws.com.

Examples

Create an Amazon ES domain that contains two data nodes and three master nodes

The following example creates an Amazon ES domain running Elasticsearch 7.10 that contains two data nodes and three dedicated master nodes. The domain has 40 GiB of storage and enables log publishing for application logs, search slow logs, and index slow logs. The access policy permits the root user for the AWS account to make all HTTP requests to the domain, such as indexing documents or searching indices.
