Overview

Hightouch lets you pull data stored in Elasticsearch using Elasticsearch SQL and push it to downstream destinations. Most of the setup occurs in the Hightouch UI, but you need access to Elasticsearch for information like your host, port, and credentials.
You may need to allowlist Hightouch’s IP addresses to let our systems connect to your warehouse. Reference our networking docs to determine which IP addresses you need to allowlist.

​
Connection configuration

Hightouch supports connecting to your Elasticsearch clusters via optional basic authentication. To get started, go to the Sources overview page and click the Add source button. Select Elasticsearch and enter the following fields into Hightouch:
  • Host: The hostname or IP address of your Elasticsearch server.
  • Port: The port number of your Elasticsearch server’s HTTP API. The default is 9200, but yours may be different.
  • Username: This can be your personal Elasticsearch login or a dedicated user for Hightouch.
  • Password: The password for the user specified above.

​
Test your connection

When setting up Elasticsearch as a source for the first time, Hightouch checks that you have the correct permissions. Once the test passes, click Continue to finish setup.

​
Create models

Once your source configuration has passed the necessary validation, your source setup is complete. Next, you can set up models to define which data you want to pull from Elasticsearch. The Elasticsearch source support writing queries in the SQL editor as its modeling method.
