Uses your own credential — Verslay stores it encrypted

Connectable today
  1. 1
    Sign in to Elasticsearch
    Open https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch and sign in to the account you want to connect.
  2. 2
    Create the API key
    Generate a new API key from the API or developer settings in your Elasticsearch dashboard.
  3. 3
    Copy it immediately
    Elasticsearch usually shows the full API key only once, right after you create it. Store it somewhere safe before closing the page.
  4. 4
    Connect in Verslay
    In the Verslay Hub, open Connections, find Elasticsearch, and paste the API key into the Elasticsearch Base URL, API Key field.
  5. 5
    Verify
    The connection flips to Connected. Run any read-only action once to confirm the credential has the right scopes.
  6. 6
    Rotate safely
    When you rotate later: connect the new credential first, confirm it works, then revoke the old one.

What you’ll paste into Verslay

Elasticsearch Base URL

Your cluster's web address including https:// and port, e.g. https://localhost:9200. In Elastic Cloud: Manage deployment → Copy endpoint next to Elasticsearch.

API Key

Paste the single Base64 'encoded' value shown once when you create a key in Kibana: Stack Management → Security → API keys — not the id/secret pair.
