In this section, we will look into creating new users, creating new roles, and associating roles with users. Let's import some sample data and use it to understand how security works.
Save the following data to a file named data.json:
{"index" : {"_index":"employee"}}
{ "name":"user1", "email":"[email protected]","salary":5000, "gender":"M", "address1":"312 Main St", "address2":"Walthill", "state":"NE"}
{"index" : {"_index":"employee"}}
{ "name":"user2", "email":"[email protected]","salary":10000, "gender":"F", "address1":"5658 N Denver Ave", "address2":"Portland", "state":"OR"}
{"index" : {"_index":"employee"}}
{ "name":"user3", "email":"[email protected]","salary":7000, "gender":"F", "address1":"300 Quinterra Ln", "address2":"Danville", "state":"CA"}
{"index" : {"_index":"department","_type":"department"}}
{ "name":"IT", "employees":50 }
{"index" : {"_index":"department","_type":"department"}}
{ "name":"SALES", "employees":500 }
{"index" : {"_index":"department","_type":"department"}}
{ "name":"SUPPORT", "employees":100 }
The _bulk API requires the last line of the file to end with the newline character,
. While saving the file, make sure that you have a newline as the last line of the file.
Navigate to the directory where the file is stored and execute the following command to import the data into Elasticsearch:
$ directoy_of_data_file> curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u elastic:elastic -XPOST http://localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary @data.json
To check whether the import was successful, execute the following command and validate the count of documents:
curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u elastic:elastic -XGET http://localhost:9200/employee,department/_count
{"count":6,"_shards":{"total":10,"successful":10,"skipped":0,"failed":0}}
