Setting Passwords

Setting Passwords

The following section outlines an optional step of setting passwords for all accounts within ELK. By default we will use the value provided in your .env under the ELASTIC_PASSWORD for all accounts.

Let's run our ELK stack now:

docker-compose up -d

You will need to set passwords for all accounts. I recommend in a testing environment to create a single password and use this across all accounts - it makes it easier when troublehshooting.

We need to access the elasticsearch container and generate our passwords:

docker-compose exec elasticsearch bash
> bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive -u "https://0.0.0.0:9200"
# Set passwords for all accounts when prompted
