Azure classic discovery plugin

The Azure classic discovery plugin uses the Azure classic API to identify the addresses of seed hosts.

Deprecated in 5.0.0.

This plugin will be removed in the future

This plugin can be installed using the plugin manager:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install discovery-azure-classic

The plugin must be installed on every node in the cluster, and each node must be restarted after installation.

You can also download this plugin for offline install. Download the build that matches the Elasticsearch version you are running.

Download the build for 9.5.5:

The plugin manager installs plugins on a self-managed cluster. You do not need this plugin on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, or Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, because those deployment types manage how nodes discover one another.

The plugin can be removed with the following command:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove discovery-azure-classic

The node must be stopped before removing the plugin.
