Elasticsearch

To use the Elasticsearch sink add the following flag:

    --sink=elasticsearch:<ES_SERVER_URL>[?<OPTIONS>]

Normally an Elasticsearch cluster has multiple nodes or a proxy, so these need to be configured for the Elasticsearch sink. To do this, you can set ES_SERVER_URL to a dummy value, and use the ?nodes= query value for each additional node in the cluster. For example:

  --sink=elasticsearch:?nodes=http://foo.com:9200&nodes=http://bar.com:9200

(*) Notice that using the ?nodes notation will override the ES_SERVER_URL

If you run your ElasticSearch cluster behind a loadbalancer (or otherwise do not want to specify multiple nodes) then you can do the following:

(*) Be sure to add your version tag in your sink;

  --sink=elasticsearch:http://elasticsearch.example.com:9200?sniff=false&ver=6

Besides this, the following options can be set in query string:

(*) Note that the keys are case sensitive

  • index - the index for metrics and events. The default is heapster
  • esUserName - the username if authentication is enabled
  • esUserSecret - the password if authentication is enabled
  • maxRetries - the number of retries that the Elastic client will perform for a single request after before giving up and return an error. It is 0 by default, so retry is disabled by default.
  • healthCheck - specifies if healthCheck are enabled by default. It is enabled by default. To disable, provide a negative boolean value like 0 or false.
  • sniff - specifies if the sniffer is enabled by default. It is enabled by default. To disable, provide a negative boolean value like 0 or false.
  • startupHealthcheckTimeout - the time in seconds the healthCheck waits for a response from Elasticsearch on startup, i.e. when creating a client. The default value is 1.
  • ver - ElasticSearch cluster version, can be either 2, 5, 6 or 7. The default is 5
  • bulkWorkers - number of workers for bulk processing. Default value is 5.
  • cluster_name - cluster name for different Kubernetes clusters. Default value is default.
  • pipeline - (optional; >ES5) Ingest Pipeline to process the documents. The default is disabled(empty value)
