Examplesedit

Pipeline versioningedit

When creating or updating an ingest pipeline, you can specify an optional version parameter. The version is useful for managing changes to pipeline and viewing the current pipeline for an ingest node.

The following request sets a version number of 123 for my-pipeline-id.

PUT /_ingest/pipeline/my-pipeline-id
{
  "description" : "describe pipeline",
  "version" : 123,
  "processors" : [
    {
      "set" : {
        "field": "foo",
        "value": "bar"
      }
    }
  ]
}

To unset the version number, replace the pipeline without specifying a version parameter.

PUT /_ingest/pipeline/my-pipeline-id
{
  "description" : "describe pipeline",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "set" : {
        "field": "foo",
        "value": "bar"
      }
    }
  ]
}
