elasticsearch

Publishes messages into an Elasticsearch index. If the index does not exist then it is created with a dynamic mapping.

# Common config fields, showing default values
output:
  label: ""
  elasticsearch:
    urls: [] # No default (required)
    index: "" # No default (required)
    id: ${!count("elastic_ids")}-${!timestamp_unix()}
    type: ""
    max_in_flight: 64
    batching:
      count: 0
      byte_size: 0
      period: ""
      jitter: 0
      check: ""

Both the id and index fields can be dynamically set using function interpolations described here. When sending batched messages these interpolations are performed per message part.

AWS​

It's possible to enable AWS connectivity with this output using the aws fields. However, you may need to set sniff and healthcheck to false for connections to succeed.

Performance​

This output benefits from sending multiple messages in flight in parallel for improved performance. You can tune the max number of in flight messages (or message batches) with the field max_in_flight.

This output benefits from sending messages as a batch for improved performance. Batches can be formed at both the input and output level. You can find out more in this doc.

tls.root_cas​

An optional root certificate authority to use. This is a string, representing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

root_cas: |-
  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
  ...
  -----END CERTIFICATE-----

tls.root_cas_file​

An optional path of a root certificate authority file to use. This is a file, often with a .pem extension, containing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

root_cas_file: ./root_cas.pem

tls.client_certs​

Type: array
Default: []

# Examples

client_certs:
  - cert: foo

tls.client_certs[].password​

A plain text password for when the private key is password encrypted in PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 format. The obsolete pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC algorithm is not supported for the PKCS#8 format. Warning: Since it does not authenticate the ciphertext, it is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks that can let an attacker recover the plaintext.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

Type: string
Default: ""
