Load ingest pipelines
editLoad ingest pipelines
editWinlogbeat modules are implemented using Elasticsearch ingest node pipelines. The events receive their transformations within Elasticsearch. The ingest node pipelines must be loaded into Elasticsearch. This can happen one of several ways.
On connection to Elasticsearch
editWinlogbeat will send ingest pipelines automatically to Elasticsearch if the Elasticsearch output is enabled.
Make sure the user specified in winlogbeat.yml
is
authorized to set up Winlogbeat.
If Winlogbeat is sending events to Logstash or another output you need
to load the ingest pipelines with the setup
command or manually.
setup command
editOn a machine that has Winlogbeat installed and has Elasticsearch configured
as the output, run the setup
command with the --pipelines
option
specified. For example, the following command loads the ingest
pipelines:
PS > .\winlogbeat.exe setup --pipelines
Make sure the user specified in winlogbeat.yml
is
authorized to set up Winlogbeat.
Manually install pipelines
editOn a machine that has Winlogbeat installed export the the pipelines
to disk. This can be done with the export
command with pipelines
option specified. For example, the following command exports the
ingest pipelines:
PS> .\winlogbeat.exe export pipelines --es.version=7.16.0
Once the pipelines have been exported you can load them into Elasticsearch with
the _ingest/pipeline
REST API call. The user making the REST API
call will need to have the ingest_admin
role assigned to them.
