Set up transformsedit
To 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 nodesedit
To 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.
Security privilegesedit
The Elasticsearch security features provide built-in roles and privileges that make it easier to control which users can manage or view transforms.
To view the configuration and status of transforms, you must have:
-
transform_userbuilt-in role ormonitor_transformcluster privileges
To manage transforms, you must have:
-
transform_adminbuilt-in role ormanage_transformcluster privileges -
readandview_index_metadataindex privileges on source indices -
read,create_index, andindexindex privileges on destination indices
