elasticsearch_v2

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

UNIQUE MESSAGES PER BATCH

This component makes use of the BulkIndexer - this will error if an attempt is made to update the same document twice - therefore it is recommended that you ensure each message in the batch has a unique id.

Introduced in version 1.11.0.

# Common config fields, showing default values
output:
label: ""
elasticsearch_v2:
urls: [] # No default (required)
index: "" # No default (required)
id: ${!count("elastic_ids")}-${!timestamp_unix()}
discover_nodes_on_start: false
discover_nodes_interval: 0s
max_in_flight: 64

retry_on_status:

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.

Fields

urls

A list of URLs to connect to. If an item of the list contains commas it will be expanded into multiple URLs.

Type: array

# Examples

urls:
- http://localhost:9200

index

The index to place messages. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

action

The action to take on the document. This field must resolve to one of the following action types: create, index, update, upsert or delete. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string
Default: "index"

pipeline

An optional pipeline id to preprocess incoming documents.

Type: string
Default: ""

id

The ID for indexed messages. Interpolation should be used in order to create a unique ID for each message. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string
Default: "${!count(\"elastic_ids\")}-${!timestamp_unix()}"

routing

The routing key to use for the document. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string
Default: ""

discover_nodes_on_start

Discover nodes when initializing the client.

Type: bool
Default: false

discover_nodes_interval

Discover nodes periodically.

Type: string
Default: "0s"

timeout

The maximum time to wait before abandoning a request (and trying again).

Type: string
Default: "5s"

tls

Custom TLS settings can be used to override system defaults.

Type: object

tls.enabled

Whether custom TLS settings are enabled.

Type: bool
Default: false

tls.skip_cert_verify

Whether to skip server side certificate verification.

Type: bool
Default: false

tls.enable_renegotiation

Whether to allow the remote server to repeatedly request renegotiation. Enable this option if you're seeing the error message local error: tls: no renegotiation.

Type: bool
Default: false
Requires version 1.0.0 or newer

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

A list of client certificates to use. For each certificate either the fields cert and key, or cert_file and key_file should be specified, but not both.

Type: array
Default: []

# Examples

client_certs:
- cert: foo
key: bar

client_certs:
- cert_file: ./example.pem
key_file: ./example.key

tls.client_certs[].cert

A plain text certificate to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key

A plain text certificate key to use.

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: ""

tls.client_certs[].cert_file

The path of a certificate to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key_file

The path of a certificate key to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

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: ""

# Examples

password: foo

password: ${KEY_PASSWORD}

max_in_flight

The maximum number of messages to have in flight at a given time. Increase this to improve throughput.

Type: int
Default: 64

basic_auth

Allows you to specify basic authentication.

Type: object

basic_auth.enabled

Whether to use basic authentication in requests.

Type: bool
Default: false

basic_auth.username

A username to authenticate as.

Type: string
Default: ""

basic_auth.password

A password to authenticate with.

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: ""

batching

Allows you to configure a batching policy.

Type: object

# Examples

batching:
byte_size: 5000
count: 0
period: 1s

batching:
count: 10
period: 1s

batching:
check: this.contains("END BATCH")
count: 0
period: 1m

batching:
count: 10
jitter: 0.1
period: 10s

batching.count

A number of messages at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables count based batching.

Type: int
Default: 0

batching.byte_size

An amount of bytes at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables size based batching.

Type: int
Default: 0

batching.period

A period in which an incomplete batch should be flushed regardless of its size.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

period: 1s

period: 1m

period: 500ms

batching.jitter

A non-negative factor that adds random delay to batch flush intervals, where delay is determined uniformly at random between 0 and jitter * period. For example, with period: 100ms and jitter: 0.1, each flush will be delayed by a random duration between 0-10ms.

Type: float
Default: 0

# Examples

jitter: 0.01

jitter: 0.1

jitter: 1

batching.check

A Bloblang query that should return a boolean value indicating whether a message should end a batch.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

check: this.type == "end_of_transaction"

batching.processors

A list of processors to apply to a batch as it is flushed. This allows you to aggregate and archive the batch however you see fit. Please note that all resulting messages are flushed as a single batch, therefore splitting the batch into smaller batches using these processors is a no-op.

- archive:
