License settings

You can configure this licensing setting in the elasticsearch.yml file. For more information, see License management.

xpack.license.self_generated.type

(Static) Set to basic (default) to enable basic X-Pack features.

If set to trial, the self-generated license gives access only to all the features of a x-pack for 30 days. You can later downgrade the cluster to a basic license if needed.
