Hi,

I would like to run sgadmin from a server which is not running in the ES cluster. In the best world, I would even not have Elastic installed.

Is there a light-weight sgadmin but with a reduced set of dependencies ? In my dream it would even not be written in java but in plain python or some similar lightweight langage.

Is there any plan about such a solution ? Is that complicated ? Perhaps java modularisation could help ?

Yes, there is a standalone sgadmin that comes with all required dependencies. You can run it from any machine that has access to your cluster:


(just replace the version number with yours)

sgadmin works on the transport layer of Elasticsearch, so, naturally, it has to be Java. We will provide an sgadmin version that operates on the REST layer with ES/SG7, but that will take a while.

Thanks for the direct link. Is there a way to navigate to these releases? The documentation at https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/sgadmin says they can be found at Maven Central which I think I've used in the past but I can see no standalone version there now.

Ahhhh. it always shows "...-api" as the latest version, which doesn't have this, you have to navigate back to the right non-api artifact and there it is.
Thanks.
