Elasticsearch filter plugin

Hash of aggregation names to copy from elasticsearch response into Logstash event fields

Example:

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        aggregation_fields => {
          "my_agg_name" => "my_ls_field"
        }
      }
    }

Authenticate using Elasticsearch API key. Note that this option also requires enabling the ssl option.

Format is id:api_key where id and api_key are as returned by the Elasticsearch Create API key API.

Set the address of a forward HTTP proxy. An empty string is treated as if proxy was not set, and is useful when using environment variables e.g. proxy => '${LS_PROXY:}'.

SSL Certificate Authority file

Hash of docinfo fields to copy from old event (found via elasticsearch) into new event

Example:

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        docinfo_fields => {
          "_id" => "document_id"
          "_index" => "document_index"
        }
      }
    }

Whether results should be sorted or not

An array of fields to copy from the old event (found via elasticsearch) into the new event, currently being processed.

In the following example, the values of @timestamp and event_id on the event found via elasticsearch are copied to the current event’s started and start_id fields, respectively:

fields => {
  "@timestamp" => "started"
  "event_id" => "start_id"
}

List of elasticsearch hosts to use for querying.

Comma-delimited list of index names to search; use _all or empty string to perform the operation on all indices. Field substitution (e.g. index-name-%{date_field}) is available

Basic Auth - password

Elasticsearch query string. Read the Elasticsearch query string documentation. for more info at: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax

File path to elasticsearch query in DSL format. Read the Elasticsearch query documentation for more info at: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/query-dsl.html

How many results to return

Comma-delimited list of <field>:<direction> pairs that define the sort order

SSL

Tags the event on failure to look up previous log event information. This can be used in later analysis.

Basic Auth - username

Cloud authentication string ("<username>:<password>" format) is an alternative for the user/password pair.

For more info, check out the Logstash-to-Cloud documentation

Cloud ID, from the Elastic Cloud web console. If set hosts should not be used.

If this filter is successful, add any arbitrary fields to this event. Field names can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field}.

Example:

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        add_field => { "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}" }
      }
    }

    # You can also add multiple fields at once:
    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        add_field => {
          "foo_%{somefield}" => "Hello world, from %{host}"
          "new_field" => "new_static_value"
        }
      }
    }

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would add field foo_hello if it is present, with the value above and the %{host} piece replaced with that value from the event. The second example would also add a hardcoded field.

If this filter is successful, add arbitrary tags to the event. Tags can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field} syntax.

Example:

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
      }
    }

    # You can also add multiple tags at once:
    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        add_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "taggedy_tag"]
      }
    }

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would add a tag foo_hello (and the second example would of course add a taggedy_tag tag).

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.

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 elasticsearch filters. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        id => "ABC"
      }
    }

Call the filter flush method at regular interval. Optional.

If this filter is successful, remove arbitrary fields from this event. Fields names can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field} Example:

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
      }
    }

    # You can also remove multiple fields at once:
    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        remove_field => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "my_extraneous_field" ]
      }
    }

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would remove the field with name foo_hello if it is present. The second example would remove an additional, non-dynamic field.

If this filter is successful, remove arbitrary tags from the event. Tags can be dynamic and include parts of the event using the %{field} syntax.

Example:

    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}" ]
      }
    }

    # You can also remove multiple tags at once:
    filter {
      elasticsearch {
        remove_tag => [ "foo_%{somefield}", "sad_unwanted_tag"]
      }
    }

If the event has field "somefield" == "hello" this filter, on success, would remove the tag foo_hello if it is present. The second example would remove a sad, unwanted tag as well.
