title: Can we use an external Elasticsearch instance instead of inbuilt one in Sonarqube?
body: <p>As we have maintained explicitly an Elasticsearch service on our server, can we use that Elasticsearch service instead of inbuilt one which is in Sonarqube 4.5?</p>
  
  <p>If not, then can we access built in Elasticsearch service on HTTP? If so, could you please tell us how to access it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Pravin</p>
