Yes
To find your Elastic Cloud host and port:
Log in to your Elastic Cloud account
Navigate to the dashboard for your Elastic Cloud deployment
Look for the endpoint information, which typically includes the host and port
Note that the format
If your Elastic Cloud endpoint looks like this: https://d93e6bcb1cb445e08847f62640e71a36.es.us-west-2.aws.elastic.cloud:443
You can break it down as follows:
Host: d93e6bcb1cb445e08847f62640e71a36.es.us-west-2.aws.elastic.cloud This is the part of the URL between https:// and the port number (:443)
Port: 443 This is the number after the colon at the end of the URL
When configuring your Elastic Cloud Vector Database Connector, you would enter:
Host: d93e6bcb1cb445e08847f62640e71a36.es.us-west-2.aws.elastic.cloud
Port: 443
To generate an API Key:
In your Elastic Cloud dashboard, go to the "Security" or "API Keys" section
Create a new API key with appropriate permissions
Copy the generated API key and store it securely, as it may not be displayed again
From the main menu, click on Vector Databases
Click New Vector Database Integration
Select the Elastic Cloud card
Fill in the required fields:
Enter a descriptive name for the connector
Input your Elastic Cloud Host URL
Specify the Port number
Enter your API Key
Click Create Elastic Integration to test and save your configuration
When configuring a pipeline, you can select this Elastic Cloud integration as the vector database output. Vectorize will then write the vectorized data to your specified Elastic Cloud instance.
If you encounter issues while creating the integration:
Verify that your Host URL and Port are correct and accessible
Ensure that your API Key is valid and has the necessary permissions
Check your network settings to make sure your environment can connect to the Elastic Cloud instance
