Zammad installation without elasticsearch

Hi All,

Is it possible to running zammad without elasticsearch?
I have been running zammad with elasticsearch, but i have a problem with Elasticsearch instance, it need big resources..

The other problem is we need to reindex Elasticsearch after:

  1. add new field on object
  2. Delay when search after adding new user or group.
    rake zammad:searchindex:rebuild
    it takes an hour, depends the documents count.

so i think if we are disabling it, how is it going?

Yes you can use Zammad without Elasticsearch, no, it is not recommended. You’d be stuck with extremely basic search functionality.

Why not just limit the ressources Elasticsearch should use…?
Look up the Elasticsearch documentaiton for heap size.

That’s as far as I will help you with the level of provided information.
