Determine the number of Hadoop distribution cluster and Elasticsearch cluster nodes you need to configure based on the EPS rate and number of replicas needed. Determine the certified version of CDH and Elasticsearch. |

CDH, Elasticsearch, and Sentinel have their own platform support matrix. Review the platform support matrix for each of these products and determine the platform you want to use. For Elasticsearch, NetIQ recommends RPM install because the RPM includes the init script. This will install Elasticsearch as a service and enables it to automatically stop and start during reboot and upgrades, and does not overwrite the config files. Elasticsearch RPM installation is not supported on SLES 11. Therefore, determine a suitable platform for Elasticsearch. |
