Logger: ElasticSearch client

ElasticSearch client to remote ElasticSearch server

Options:

  • server (string)

    Elasticsearch server url. Specify the URL of your Elasticsearch server.

  • index (string)

    Elasticsearch index. Define the name of the Elasticsearch index to use.

  • bulk-size (integer)

    Bulk size to be used for bulk batches in bytes. Set the maximum size of each bulk batch before sending it to Elasticsearch.

  • bulk-channel-size (integer)

    Maximum number of bulk messages in buffer. Specifies the maximun number of bulk messages in buffer before to drop it.

  • compression (string)

    Compression for bulk messages: none, gzip. Specifies the compression algorithm to use.

  • chan-buffer-size (integer)

    Specifies the maximum number of packets that can be buffered before discard additional packets. Set to zero to use the default global value.

  • flush-interval (integer)

    Interval in seconds before to flush the buffer. Set the maximum time interval before the buffer is flushed. If the bulk batches reach this interval before reaching the maximum size, they will be sent to Elasticsearch.

  • basic-auth-enable (bool)

    Enable basic authentication (login+password) to ElasticSearch

  • basic-auth-login (string)

    The login username

  • basic-auth-pwd (string)

    The password

Defaults:

- name: elastic
  elasticsearch:
    server: "http://127.0.0.1:9200/"
    index:  "dnscollector"
    chan-buffer-size: 0
    bulk-size: 1048576 # 1MB
    flush-interval: 10 # in seconds
    compression: none
    bulk-channel-size: 10
    basic-auth-enable: false
    basic-auth-login: ""
    basic-auth-pwd: ""

Could you explain the difference between bulk-size and bulk-channel-size?

bulk-size refers to the size of the batch of DNS messages sent to your Elasticsearch instance. Since sending these batches can take time, bulk-channel-size defines the number of batches the DNS collector can hold in memory before dropping them.
