quick test of AWS elasticsearch with PHP

test-aws-es.php

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$hosts = [
    'https://yourhostname.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com:443'
];
$client = Elasticsearch\ClientBuilder::create()           // Instantiate a new ClientBuilder
                    ->setHosts($hosts)      // Set the hosts
                    ->build();
$params = [
    'index' => 'brianwhigham_test_index',
    'body' => [
        'settings' => [
            'number_of_shards' => 2,
            'number_of_replicas' => 0
        ]
    ]
];

$response = $client->indices()->create($params);
print_r($response);
?>

I came up with this test, thanks to the ES docs, after I ran into this error trying to run a php artisan command:

ERROR: exception 'Elasticsearch\Common\Exceptions\NoNodesAvailableException' with message 'No alive nodes found in your cluster'
