You can access the Elasticsearch endpoint within or outside the Kubernetes cluster.

Within the Kubernetes cluster

  1. Retrieve the CA certificate.
  2. Retrieve the password of the elastic user. 
NAME=hulk

kubectl get secret "$NAME-es-http-certs-public" -o go-template='{{index .data "tls.crt" | base64decode }}' > tls.crt
PW=$(kubectl get secret "$NAME-es-elastic-user" -o go-template='{{.data.elastic | base64decode }}')

curl --cacert tls.crt -u elastic:$PW https://$NAME-es-http:9200/

Outside the Kubernetes cluster

  1. Retrieve the CA certificate.
  2. Retrieve the password of the elastic user.
  3. Retrieve the IP of the LoadBalancer Service. 
NAME=hulk

kubectl get secret "$NAME-es-http-certs-public" -o go-template='{{index .data "tls.crt" | base64decode }}' > tls.crt
IP=$(kubectl get svc "$NAME-es-http" -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[].ip}')
PW=$(kubectl get secret "$NAME-es-elastic-user" -o go-template='{{.data.elastic | base64decode }}')

curl --cacert tls.crt -u elastic:$PW https://$IP:9200/
