I’m a new developer. I downloaded ReadonlyREST. I’m on step 2 listed here https://github.com/sscarduzio/elasticsearch-readonlyrest-plugin#2-configuration and I don’t know where the config/readonlyrest.yml is supposed to be located. Am I supposed to create a folder(config) and file(readonlyrest.yml) in the plugin folder or is this config referring to the folder within the elasticsearch folder? I have no idea where to look and I’ve spent most of the day trying to figure this problem out and I’m getting nowhere.
Hi @Marty,
Welcome to the forum, I just fixed the documentation under your suggestion. Many thanks!
I will answer your question here as well:
The readonlyrest.yml
file should be placed on the same path with the elasticsearch.yml
. This path may vary wildly according to the specific configuration, but the default when you download the official zip file, it’s under $ES_HOME/config/
I also added a link in the readme to the extensive documentation page, the README.md is meant to be just a quick start.
Please if you have any other feedback don’t hesitate to let me know. As a new user, you are in the best position to notice important things.
Thanks again!
Thanks. That helps immensely.
I’ll leave a link to this issue here, because it’s relevant to this topic.
