Samples Configuration

The Elasticsearch DXL Python Service distribution contains a client configuration file (dxlclient.config) located in the sample sub-directory that must be populated in order for the samples to connect to the DXL fabric.

The steps to populate this configuration file are the same as those documented in the OpenDXL Python SDK, see the OpenDXL Python SDK Samples Configuration page for more information.

The following is an example of a populated configuration file:

[Certs]
BrokerCertChain=c:\\certificates\\brokercerts.crt
CertFile=c:\\certificates\\client.crt
PrivateKey=c:\\certificates\\client.key

[Brokers]
{5d73b77f-8c4b-4ae0-b437-febd12facfd4}={5d73b77f-8c4b-4ae0-b437-febd12facfd4};8883;mybroker.mcafee.com;192.168.1.12
{24397e4d-645f-4f2f-974f-f98c55bdddf7}={24397e4d-645f-4f2f-974f-f98c55bdddf7};8883;mybroker2.mcafee.com;192.168.1.13

The sample sub-directory also contains a service configuration file (dxlelasticsearchservice.config) with settings specific to the APIs and event data that the samples use. The Server Section in this file must be populated with appropriate details for the Elasticsearch server configuration. For more details on this configuration, see the Service Configuration File section.
