Set up transforms
editSet up transforms
editTo use the transforms, you must have the appropriate license and at least one transform node in your Elasticsearch cluster. If Elastic Stack security features are enabled, you must also ensure your users have the necessary privileges.
Transform nodes
editTo use transforms, there must be at least one node in your cluster with
xpack.transform.enabled
and node.transform
set to true
. By default, all
nodes are transform nodes unless you explicitly change these settings or set
node.data
to false
.
If you want to control which nodes run transforms, set node.transform
to
false
on some nodes.
For more information, see Transforms settings and Node.

-
