Breaking changes

Removing the MAX_THREAD settings

Ansible-elasticsearch 7.5.0 is removing the option to customize the maximum number of threads the process can start in #637.
We discovered that this option wasn't working anymore since multi-instance support removal in ansible-elasticsearch 7.1.1.
This option will be added back in a following release if it's still relevant regarding latest Elasticsearch evolutions.

Changes about configuration files

Ansible-elasticsearch 7.5.0 is updating the configuration files provided by this role in #637 which contained some otions deprecated in 6.x and 7.x:

• /etc/default/elasticsearch|/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch: the new template reflect the configuration file provided by Elasticsearch >= 6.x, the parameter we removed were already not used in 6.x and 7.x
• /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options: the new template reflect the configuration files provided by Elasticsearch >= 6.x
• /etc/elasticsearch/log4j2.properties:
  • We removed log4j2.properties.j2 template from this Ansible role as it was a static file not bringing any customization specific to some ansible variable.
  • Deployment of this Ansible role on new servers will get the default log4j2.properties provided by Elastisearch without any override.
  • WARNING: For upgrade scenarios where this file was already managed by previous versions of ansible-elasticsearch, this file will become unmanaged and won't be updated by default. If you wish to update it to 7.5 version, you can retrieve it here and use this file with es_config_log4j2 Ansible variable (see below).

How to override configuration files provided by ansible-elasticsearch?

You can now override the configuration files with your own versions by using the following Ansible variables:

• es_config_default: "elasticsearch.j2": replace elasticsearch.j2 by your own template to use a custom /etc/default/elasticsearch|/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch configuration file
• es_config_jvm: "jvm.options.j2": replace jvm.options.j2 by your own template to use a custom /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options configuration file
• es_config_log4j2: "": set this variable to the path of your own template to use a custom /etc/elasticsearch/log4j2.properties configuration file

SSL/TLS Support

Ansible-elasticsearch is now supporting SSL/TLS encryption. Please refer to X-Pack Security SSL/TLS to configure it.

7.1.1 Release

7.1.1 - 2019/06/04

Breaking changes

End of multi-instance support

• Starting with ansible-elasticsearch:7.1.1, installing more than one instance of Elasticsearch on the same host is no longer supported.

• Configuration, datas, logs and PID directories are now using standard paths like in the official Elasticsearch packages.

• If you use only one instance but want to upgrade from an older ansible-elasticsearch version, follow upgrade procedure

• If you install more than one instance of Elasticsearch on the same host (with different ports, directory and config files), do not update to ansible-elasticsearch >= 7.1.1, please follow this workaround instead.

• For multi-instances use cases, we are now recommending Docker containers using our official images (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html).
