This output lets you send events to the Elastic App Search solution, both the self-managed or the managed service. On receiving a batch of events from the Logstash pipeline, the plugin converts the events into documents and uses the App Search bulk API to index multiple events in one request.
App Search doesn’t allow fields to begin with @timestamp.
By default the @timestamp and @version fields will be removed from
each event before the event is sent to App Search. If you want to keep
the @timestamp field, you can use the
timestamp_destination option
to store the timestamp in a different field.
This gem does not support codec customization.

like myapp-%{sequence_id}. Reusing ids will cause documents to be rewritten.

Where to move the value from the @timestamp field.
All Logstash events contain a @timestamp field.
App Search doesn’t support fields starting with @timestamp, and
by default, the @timestamp field will be deleted.

- 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.
- 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 elastic_app_search outputs.
Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output {
elastic_app_search {
id => "my_plugin_id"
}
}
Variable substitution in the id field only supports environment variables
and does not support the use of values from the secret store.
