In the command below, we extract to my home directory. Read more about the elasticsearch-certutil tool on Elasticsearch reference page.Įxtract the certificate files to some directory.

Listing the contents of the archive file unzip -l $HOME/elk-cert.zip Archive: /root/elk-cert.zip The command will create the CA key and certificate, the node key and certificate archived in a $HOME/elk-cert.zip file which is valid for an year. usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-certutil cert -keep-ca-key -pem -in $HOME/instances.yml -out $HOME/elk-cert.zip -days 365

Once that is done, run the command below to generate the ELK Stack TLS Certificates. To silently generate the node certificates, create an YAML file to define you nodes distinguished names (can be hostname) and the node FQDN in the format shown below vim $HOME/instances.yml instances: However, in this demo, since we are just running a single node Elastic Stack with all the components in place, then we will just generate the certificates for just this single node. With elasticsearch-certutil, it is possible to generate the certificates for a specific node or multiple nodes. In this demo, we will be creating TLS certificates using elasticsearch-certutil.Įlasticsearch-certutil is an Elastic Stack utility that simplifies the generation of X.509 certificates and certificate signing requests for use with SSL/TLS in the Elastic stack.
