Checking in ElasticSearch

Confirm the records in ElasticSearch

In this step, we will confirm that the sales data records are making their way to the ElasticSearch index correctly.

  1. Open the Amazon ElasticSearch Service console in the web browser
  2. On the Amazon Elasticsearch Service dashboard, locate the idevelop domain. Under the Searchable documents column, you should see a number greater than zero here, if documents are being stored correctly.

  1. Click on the idevelop link to drill into the cluster.
  2. Click the Indices tab to show the indices in the cluster. You should see details of how many documents are indexed, approximate size of storage required, and the Mappings information that you set previously using the curl command to inform ElasticSearch of the data types you are using in your documents for this index:

If you don’t see any documents in the index, check you have followed all the instructions above, and that the Kinesis Consumer application is in fact showing feedback such as INFO: Processing xxxx records and not showing any errors. If you are stuck, ask a lab assistant for help.
