# Recall indices & content for Stream in Elk v7

Index patterns and packaged content for using Recall with ELK v7.

Recall Content can be added to any customer's Stream Elasticsearch & Kibana Index.

This guide will explain how a customer is able to quickly & easily add this data.

After completing these steps, the user will have these items on their ELK stack:

* Index templates in ElasticSearch that will parse fields correctly
* Kibana index patterns that will set the timestamp & representation of each index
* Kibana saved searches for useful queries, such as the Vectra Security Assessment.
* Dashboards, such as VPN overview dashboard, and the Host Dashboard.

## Elastic templates

### Install the templates on a given elastic search instance

Elasticsearch templates are contained within the ` ./elasticsearch-templates`` ` folder.

run `HOST=localhost:9200 ./put.sh` to upload all the existing templates to the local ES

**OR**

You can use the following `curl` command to install a given template:

```
curl -XPUT $HOST/_template/$TEMPLATE_NAME?include_type_name=true -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary "@$TEMPLATE_PATH"
```

Be sure to populate `$HOST`, `$TEMPLATE_NAME` and `$TEMPLATE_PATH` with the proper data.

For instance:

```
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/_template/metadata_isession?include_type_name=true \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data-binary "@tpl/metadata_isession.jsonc"
```

More info on how to load templates can be found in [the official ElasticSearch templates docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html).

## Kibana-state

`./kibana-state/` is a store for a Kibana specific state, where the Kibana index patterns are stored.

#### Adding Stream index patterns

* Before adding index patterns, ensure that index templates have been added to ES (`HOST=localhost:9200 ./put.sh`)
* Go to kibana UI, Management, Saved Objects Section. `/app/kibana#/management/kibana/objects`
* Click import, and select **recall\_kibana\_indices.ndjson**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vectra.ai/deployment/recall-qux-only/recall-indices-and-content-for-stream-in-elk-v7.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
