Elastic.Ingest.Elasticsearch 0.5.2

Elastic.Ingest.Elasticsearch

Elastic.Channels implementations of BufferedChannelBase that allows data to pushed to either indices or data streams

DataStreamChannel<TEvent>

A channel that specializes to writing data with a timestamp to Elasticsearch data streams. E.g given the following document.

public class TimeSeriesDocument
{
    [JsonPropertyName("@timestamp")]
    public DateTimeOffset Timestamp { get; set; }

    [JsonPropertyName("message")]
    public string Message { get; set; }
}

A channel can be created to push data to the logs-dotnet-default data stream.

var dataStream = new DataStreamName("logs", "dotnet");
var bufferOptions = new BufferOptions { }
var options = new DataStreamChannelOptions<TimeSeriesDocument>(transport)
{
  DataStream = dataStream,
  BufferOptions = bufferOptions
};
var channel = new DataStreamChannel<TimeSeriesDocument>(options);

NOTE: read more about Elastic's data stream naming convention here: https://www.elastic.co/blog/an-introduction-to-the-elastic-data-stream-naming-scheme

we can now push data to Elasticsearch using the DataStreamChannel

var doc = new TimeSeriesDocument 
{ 
    Timestamp = DateTimeOffset.Now, 
    Message = "Hello World!", 
}
channel.TryWrite(doc);

Bootstrap target data stream

Optionally the target data stream can be bootstrapped using the following.

await channel.BootstrapElasticsearchAsync(BootstrapMethod.Failure, "7-days-default"); 

This will try and set up the target data stream with the 7-days-default ILM policy. Throwing exceptions if it fails to do so because BootstrapMethod.Failure was provided

An index template with accompanying component templates will be created based on the type and dataset portion of the target datastream.

IndexChannel<TEvent>

A channel that specializes in writing catalog data to Elastic indices. Catalog data is typically data that has an id of sorts.

Given the following minimal document

public class CatalogDocument
{
    [JsonPropertyName("id")]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [JsonPropertyName("title")]
    public string Title { get; set; }

    [JsonPropertyName("created")]
    public DateTimeOffset Created { get; set; }
}

We can create an IndexChannel<> to push CatalogDocument instances.

var options = new IndexChannelOptions<CatalogDocument>(transport)
{
    IndexFormat = "catalog-data-{0:yyyy.MM.dd}",
    BulkOperationIdLookup = c => c.Id,
    TimestampLookup = c => c.Created,
};
var channel = new IndexChannel<CatalogDocument>(options);

now we can push data using:

var doc = new CatalogDocument 
{ 
    Created = date, 
    Title = "Hello World!", 
    Id = "hello-world" 
}
channel.TryWrite(doc);

This will push data to catalog-data-2023.01.1 because TimestampLookup yields Created to IndexFormat.

IndexFormat can also simply be a fixed string to write to an Elasticsearch alias/index.

BulkOperationIdLookup determines if the document should be pushed to Elasticsearch using a create or index operation.

Bootstrap target index

Optionally the target index can be bootstrapped using the following.

await channel.BootstrapElasticsearchAsync(BootstrapMethod.Failure, "7-days-default"); 

This will try and set up the target data stream with the 7-days-default ILM policy. Throwing exceptions if it fails to do so because BootstrapMethod.Failure was provided

An index template with accompanying component templates will be created based named using IndexFormat.
