Elasticsearch is the distributed search and analytics engine at the heart of the Elastic Stack, where the indexing, search, and analysis happens. Query Elasticsearch instances using DSL, EQL, and Lucene syntaxes, search and index documents, collect events, fetch issues with a predefined query, and fetch threat intelligence indicators from an Elasticsearch database.

This connector includes the following sub-capabilities (Marketplace integrations link to PAN DEV for more information):

* [Elasticsearch v2](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/elasticsearch-v2): Search for and analyze data in real time.\
  Supports version 6 and later. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM, Cortex Cloud, Cortex Cloud Runtime Security, Cortex XDR, or Cortex AgentiX license.
* [ElasticsearchEventCollector](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/elasticsearch-event-collector): Search for and analyze data in real time.\
  Supports version 6 and later. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM license.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/configure-cortex-xsiam/cortex-xsiam-data-sources/vendor-specific-data-sources-and-connectors/elastic/elasticsearch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
