Question
Search Issue 7.1.8
We are currently using Elastic Search feature in Pega 7.1.8.
We have 5 nodes in the system and FTSIncrementalIndexer is running on all of them.We have configured search index file directory on one of the nodes(search index node).
Whenever the node(search index node) which is hosting the search index directory is going down,search is not getting available for the rest of the nodes.
What should be our setting to make search available even if the search index node goes down.
Elastic Search can provide failover and replication for your search indices if in your 5 node system, you provide more than 1 node as the search node, so that if the search node goes down, the other node(s) configured can still service search. You can configure additional nodes on the search landing page and Elastic Search will automatically replicate the search indices from the existing 1 search node to all the configured nodes. Please refer to this help document on how to configure the search landing page
