Hey Darcy, I think Adam might be able to tell you more about why running one Elasticsearch server for two Arches instances is not a good idea (even though it seems inefficient).
Here is a thought you may or may not find interesting: If you want full standardization / repeatable ES installs, I suggest you look into Docker (https://www.docker.com/). With Docker you could run any number of Elasticsearch instances in isolation of each other, without having to install them on your server manually. The official Elasticsearch Docker image can be found here: https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/ (ignore the deprecation message for now). After installing Docker on your server, you create a docker-compose.yml file that looks like this: version: '2' services: elasticsearch: container_name: elasticsearch image: elasticsearch:1.5.2 restart: unless-stopped volumes: - elasticsearch-data:/var/lib/elasticsearch/data - elasticsearch-log:/var/log/elasticsearch ports: - "9200:9200" volumes: elasticsearch-data: elasticsearch-log: Then you can run your ES container like this: docker-compose up -d And you will have a clean, isolated Elasticsearch instance running, which listens on port 9200. Create another docker-compose.yml with a different port for your second Elasticsearch instance. Be aware that Docker does add an extra level of complexity to your work, but once you know how to use it, it makes life earlier.
