Reset the elastic user passwordedit
You might need to reset the password for the elastic superuser if you cannot authenticate with the elastic user ID and are effectively locked out from an Elasticsearch cluster or Kibana.
Resetting the elastic user password does not interfere with Marketplace integrations.
The elastic user should be not be used unless you have no other
way to access your deployment. Create
API keys for ingesting data, and create user accounts with
appropriate roles for
user access.
To reset the password:
- Log in to the Elasticsearch Service Console.
-
Find your deployment on the home page in the Elasticsearch Service card and select Manage to access it directly. Or, select Dedicated deployments to go to the deployments page to view all of your deployments.
On the deployments page you can narrow your deployments by name, ID, or choose from several other filters. To customize your view, use a combination of filters, or change the format from a grid to a list.
- From your deployment menu, go to Security.
- Select Reset password.
-
Copy down the auto-generated a password for the
elasticuser:
- Close the window.
The password is not accessible after you close the window, so if you lose it, you need to reset the password again.
