+    Keystore integration configuration for elasticsearch
+---
+
+## Keystore integation
+
+Keystore is a recommended way of integrating different credentials like:- AWS, GCP, Azure and Slack, etc. to elasticsearch cluster. We simply need to create a Kubernetes secret and the operator can take care the integration of Kubernetes secret to elasticsearch keystore.
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl create secret generic slack-hook \
+--from-literal=xpack.notification.slack.account.monitoring.secure_url='https://hooks.slack.com/services/asdasdasd/asda'
+```
+
+or yaml file is also one of the way for creating the secret.
+
+```yaml
+---
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Secret
+metadata:
+  name: encryption-key
+data:
+  xpack.notification.slack.account.monitoring.secure_url: aHR0cHM6Ly9ob29rcy5zbGFjay5jb20vc2VydmljZXMvYXNkYXNkYXNkL2FzZGFzZGFzL2FzZGFzZA==
+# other secrets key value pairs can be defined here
+type: Opaque
+```
+
+Then simply we can define the keystore secret name in CRD definition.
+
+```yaml
+---
+apiVersion: logging.logging.opstreelabs.in/v1beta1
+kind: Elasticsearch
+metadata:
+  name: elasticsearch
+spec:
+  esClusterName: "prod"
+  esVersion: "7.16.0"
+  esKeystoreSecret: encryption-key
+```
+
+Validation of keystore can be done using `elasticsearch-keystore` command.
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl exec -it elasticsearch-master-0 -n ot-operators -- ./bin/elasticsearch-keystore list
+...
+keystore.seed
+xpack.notification.slack.account.monitoring.secure_url
+```
+
+## Helm Configuration
+
+Keystore integration can also be done using helm chart of elasticsearch. We just need to define the keystore secret name in the values file of elasticsearch helm chart.
+
+https://github.com/OT-CONTAINER-KIT/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/elasticsearch/values.yaml#L9
+
+```shell
+$ helm upgrade elasticsearch ot-helm/elasticsearch --namespace ot-operators \
+  --set esMaster.storage.storageClass=do-block-storage \
+  --set esData.storage.storageClass=do-block-storage --install
+```

+
+## Plugins Installation 
+
+Plugins installation has been simplified using the Logging Operator. To install the plugins inside the elasticsearch, we just need to define the list of plugins inside the `esPlugins` section of elasticsearch CRD.
+
+For example:-
+
+```yaml
+---
+apiVersion: logging.logging.opstreelabs.in/v1beta1
+kind: Elasticsearch
+metadata:
+  name: elasticsearch
+spec:
+  esClusterName: "prod"
+  esVersion: "7.16.0"
+  esPlugins: ["repository-s3"]
+```
+
+Validation of plugin installation can be done using `elasticsearch-plugin` or `curl` command.
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl exec -it elasticsearch-master-0 -n ot-operators -- ./bin/elasticsearch-plugin list
+...
+repository-s3
+```
+
+```shell
+$ kubectl exec -it elasticsearch-master-0 -n ot-operators -- curl http://localhost:9200/_cat/plugins
+...
+elasticsearch-master-1 repository-s3 7.16.0
+elasticsearch-master-2 repository-s3 7.16.0
+elasticsearch-master-0 repository-s3 7.16.0
+```
+
+## Helm Configuration
+
+Plugin installation can also be done using helm chart of elasticsearch. We just need to define the plugins list in the values file of elasticsearch helm chart.
+
+https://github.com/OT-CONTAINER-KIT/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/elasticsearch/values.yaml#L8
+
+```shell
+$ helm upgrade elasticsearch ot-helm/elasticsearch --namespace ot-operators \
+  --set esMaster.storage.storageClass=do-block-storage \
+  --set esData.storage.storageClass=do-block-storage --install
+```
