Elastic Stack Helm Chart

Starting from ECK 2.4.0, a Helm chart is available for managing Elastic Stack resources using the ECK Operator. It is available from the Elastic Helm repository and can be added to your Helm repository list by running the following command:

helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co
helm repo update

The minimum supported version of Helm is 3.2.0.

Installing Elasticsearch and Kibana using the eck-stack Helm Chart

edit

Similar to the quickstart, the following section describes how to setup an Elasticsearch cluster with a simple Kibana instance managed by ECK, and how to customize a deployment using the eck-stack Helm chart’s values.

# Install an eck-managed Elasticsearch and Kibana using the default values, which deploys the quickstart examples.
helm install es-kb-quickstart elastic/eck-stack -n elastic-stack --create-namespace

Customizing Kibana and Elasticsearch using the eck-stack Helm Chart’s example values

edit

There are example Helm values files for installing and managing a more advanced Elasticsearch and/or Kibana in the project repository.

To use one or more of these example configurations, use the --values Helm option, as seen in the following section.

# Install an eck-managed Elasticsearch and Kibana using the Elasticsearch node roles example with hot, warm, and cold data tiers, and the Kibana example customizing the http service.
helm install es-quickstart elastic/eck-stack -n elastic-stack --create-namespace \
    --values https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/2.15/deploy/eck-stack/examples/elasticsearch/hot-warm-cold.yaml \
    --values https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/2.15/deploy/eck-stack/examples/kibana/http-configuration.yaml

edit

The following section builds upon the previous section, and allows installing Fleet Server, and Fleet-managed Elastic Agents along with Elasticsearch and Kibana.

# Install an eck-managed Elasticsearch, Kibana, Fleet Server, and managed Elastic Agents using custom values.
helm install eck-stack-with-fleet elastic/eck-stack \
    --values https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/2.15/deploy/eck-stack/examples/agent/fleet-agents.yaml -n elastic-stack

    --values https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/2.15/deploy/eck-stack/examples/logstash/basic-eck.yaml -n elastic-stack

Installing a standalone Elastic APM Server along with Elasticsearch and Kibana using the eck-stack Helm Chart

edit

The following section builds upon the previous sections, and allows installing a standalone Elastic APM Server along with Elasticsearch and Kibana.

# Install an eck-managed Elasticsearch, Kibana, and standalone APM Server using custom values.
helm install eck-stack-with-apm-server elastic/eck-stack \
    --values https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/2.15/deploy/eck-stack/examples/apm-server/basic.yaml -n elastic-stack

Installing an Elastic Enterprise Search Server along with Elasticsearch and Kibana using the eck-stack Helm Chart

edit

The following section builds upon the previous sections, and allows installing an Elastic Enterprise Search Server along with Elasticsearch and Kibana.

# Install an eck-managed Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Enterprise Search Server using custom values.
helm install eck-stack-with-enterprise-search elastic/eck-stack \
    --values https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/2.15/deploy/eck-stack/examples/enterprise-search/basic.yaml -n elastic-stack

Installing individual components of the Elastic Stack using the Helm Charts

edit

You can install individual components in one of two ways using the provided Helm Charts.

Using Helm values
Using the individual Helm Charts directly

Using Helm values to install only Elasticsearch

helm install es-quickstart elastic/eck-stack -n elastic-stack --create-namespace --set=eck-kibana.enabled=false

Using the eck-elasticsearch Helm Chart directly to install only Elasticsearch

helm install es-quickstart elastic/eck-elasticsearch -n elastic-stack --create-namespace

Adding Ingress to the Elastic stack using the Helm Charts

edit

Both Elasticsearch and Kibana support Ingress, which can be enabled using the following options:

helm install es-quickstart elastic/eck-elasticsearch -n elastic-stack --create-namespace --set=ingress.enabled=true --set=ingress.hosts[0].host=elasticsearch.example.com --set=ingress.hosts[0].path="/"
