Index connector and action
editIndex connector and actionedit
An index connector indexes a document into Elasticsearch.
Create connectors in Kibanaedit
You can create connectors in Stack Management > Connectors or as needed when you’re creating a rule. For example:
![Index connector](management/connectors/images/index-connector.png)
Connector configurationedit
Index connectors must have a name and an Elasticsearch index. You can optionally choose a field that indicates when the document was indexed.
Test connectorsedit
You can test connectors as you’re creating or editing the connector in Kibana. For example:
![Index params test](management/connectors/images/index-params-test.png)
Index connector actions contain a document in JSON format. For example, if you have an index with the following properties:
PUT test { "settings" : { "number_of_shards" : 1 }, "mappings" : { "properties" : { "rule_id" : { "type" : "text" }, "rule_name" : { "type" : "text" }, "alert_id" : { "type" : "text" }, "context_message": { "type" : "text" } } } }
Your test document could contain the following properties and variables:
{ "rule_id": "{{rule.id}}", "rule_name": "{{rule.name}}", "alert_id": "{{alert.id}}", "context_message": "{{context.message}}" }
