User authentication in Elasticsearch query using python

Question

I'm using elastisearch using Python. My code looks somewhat like this:-

               from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch  if __name__ == '__main__':      index="IndexPosition"     es=Elasticsearch(['https://localhost:8080'])     res = es.search(index='{0}'.format(index), doc_type="log",size=1000, from_=0, body={ "query": {     "match": {                ...Match condition       }     }   }}) 

Now, due to changes in architecture user authentication has been added in the elasticsearch.Let's assume username-user and password-pass.How do I pass the username and password in the query..?

Answer 1

You need to pass the username and password to the Elasticsearch object as shown below:

es = Elasticsearch(['http://localhost:8080'], http_auth=('user', 'pass'))

Answer 2

You can pass username, password in url:

ex:

username: elastic

password: changeme

es = Elasticsearch(hosts="http://elastic:changeme@localhost:9200/") 

using CURL

curl -X GET "elastic:changeme@localhost:9200/"
