Enable Data Grid Audit

Setup Stage

This section applies to Datagrid Only.

After installing the required Elastic components for Data Grid Audit, the integration between Elastic and Relativity is configured by running the Relativity Server CLI on the Primary SQL Server.

Please review the following important information before proceeding:

  • For Existing Data Grid Audit Customers: You must be on Elasticsearch 7.17 when initially running this setup. After the setup is complete, you can upgrade to Elasticsearch 8.17.3.
  • Before upgrading to Elasticsearch 8.17.3, the ESIndexCreationSetting may need to be updated. For details, refer to the Instance setting Details.
  • Always verify the minimum required Elasticsearch version in your specific release bundle, as it may differ from the versions mentioned here.

Prerequisites

  1. Install the mapper-size plugin on all nodes in the Elasticsearch cluster (instructions available here). The Elasticsearch service must also be restarted after installing the plugin.

  2. The Server-bundle zip file has been downloaded and extracted to `C:\Server.Bundle.x.y.z'

  3. Verify that the InfraWatch Services application is installed in the Relativity instance (this RAP is delivered as part of the base Relativity Server 2024 installation package).

The Relativity Data Grid setup has been completed. Please restart all Relativity services, including "kCura Edds Agent Manager," "kCura Edds Web Processing Manager," and "kCura Service Host Manager" on each server contained within this Relativity instance to complete the setup.

If the setup completes successfully, Datagrid is now configured for the environment.

Step 4 - Restart the Relativity services on all machines for the changes to take effect.

Step 5 - Verify Audit Dashboard Navigate to the Audit tab in the Relativity environment and confirm that the dashboard and its data are loading correctly.
