Instructions

Use HTTP Basic Authentication with any Elasticsearch-compatible cluster (self-hosted, Elastic Cloud, OpenSearch, or other managed hosts).

  1. Set Service URL to your cluster base URL (for example https://your-host:9200 or the HTTPS URL from your provider).
  2. Enter User Name and Password for a user that can call the Elasticsearch REST API. Some managed hosts label these as Access Key / Access Secret — use those values in the same fields.
  3. If you use a self-signed certificate and see a trust error, set Ignore certificate related errors to True (only if you trust the server).
  4. Click Test connection.

Optional — Bonsai example: On Bonsai, open https://app.bonsai.io/clusters/{your-instance-id}/tokens, copy Access Key and Access Secret into User Name and Password, then test. Sample data (if needed): https://{your-cluster-id}.apps.bonsaisearch.net/app/home#/tutorial_directory.
