elasticsearchedit
- Version: 4.0.2
- Released on: February 7, 2017
- Changelog
Compatibility Note
Starting with Elasticsearch 5.3, there’s an HTTP setting
called http.content_type.required. If this option is set to true, and you
are using Logstash 2.4 through 5.2, you need to update the Elasticsearch input
plugin to version 4.0.2 or higher.
Getting Helpedit
For questions about the plugin, open a topic in the Discuss forums. For bugs or feature requests, open an issue in Github. For the list of Elastic supported plugins, please consult the Elastic Support Matrix.
Descriptionedit
Read from an Elasticsearch cluster, based on search query results. This is useful for replaying test logs, reindexing, etc.
Example:
input {
# Read all documents from Elasticsearch matching the given query
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost"
query => '{ "query": { "match": { "statuscode": 200 } }, "sort": [ "_doc" ] }'
}
}
This would create an Elasticsearch query with the following format:
curl 'http://localhost:9200/logstash-*/_search?&scroll=1m&size=1000' -d '{
"query": {
"match": {
"statuscode": 200
}
},
"sort": [ "_doc" ]
}'

Detailsedit
ca_fileedit
- Value type is path
- There is no default value for this setting.
SSL Certificate Authority file in PEM encoded format, must also include any chain certificates as necessary
codecedit
- Value type is codec
-
Default value is
"plain"
The codec used for input data. Input codecs are a convenient method for decoding your data before it enters the input, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
docinfoedit
- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
false
If set, include Elasticsearch document information such as index, type, and the id in the event.
It might be important to note, with regards to metadata, that if you’re
ingesting documents with the intent to re-index them (or just update them)
that the action option in the elasticsearch output wants to know how to
handle those things. It can be dynamically assigned with a field
added to the metadata.
Example
input {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "es.production.mysite.org"
index => "mydata-2018.09.*"
query => "*"
size => 500
scroll => "5m"
docinfo => true
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
index => "copy-of-production.%{[@metadata][_index]}"
index_type => "%{[@metadata][_type]}"
document_id => "%{[@metadata][_id]}"
}
}
docinfo_fieldsedit
- Value type is array
-
Default value is
["_index", "_type", "_id"]
List of document metadata to move to the docinfo_target field
To learn more about Elasticsearch metadata fields read
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_document_metadata.html
docinfo_targetedit
- Value type is string
-
Default value is
"@metadata"
Where to move the Elasticsearch document information by default we use the @metadata field.
enable_metricedit
- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
true
Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.
hostsedit
- Value type is array
- There is no default value for this setting.
List of elasticsearch hosts to use for querying. each host can be either IP, HOST, IP:port or HOST:port port defaults to 9200
idedit
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add a unique ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one.
It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful
when you have two or more plugins of the same type, for example, if you have 2 grok filters.
Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output {
stdout {
id => "my_plugin_id"
}
}
passwordedit
- Value type is password
- There is no default value for this setting.
Basic Auth - password
queryedit
- Value type is string
-
Default value is
"{ \"sort\": [ \"_doc\" ] }"
The query to be executed. Read the Elasticsearch query DSL documentation for more info https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl.html
scrolledit
- Value type is string
-
Default value is
"1m"
This parameter controls the keepalive time in seconds of the scrolling request and initiates the scrolling process. The timeout applies per round trip (i.e. between the previous scroll request, to the next).
sizeedit
- Value type is number
-
Default value is
1000
This allows you to set the maximum number of hits returned per scroll.
tagsedit
- Value type is array
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.
This can help with processing later.
typeedit
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
This is the base class for Logstash inputs.
Add a type field to all events handled by this input.
Types are used mainly for filter activation.
The type is stored as part of the event itself, so you can also use the type to search for it in Kibana.
If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at the shipper stays with that event for its life even when sent to another Logstash server.
