OpenSearch

OpenSearch Destination Plugin

OpenSearch is a distributed, scalable, and highly-available search and analytics engine that is built on Apache Lucene and Elasticsearch. It provides a powerful platform for storing, indexing, and querying large amounts of data, including logs, metrics, traces, and other types of telemetry data.

With the OpenSearch Destination Plugin, you can easily configure your Calyptia Core pipeline to send your data to OpenSearch.

The following are Advanced configuration Parameters for OpenSearch Destination Plugin.

Key	Description
Replace Dots	When enabled, replace field name dots with underscore, required by versions of OpenSearch
Type	Type Name
Suppress Type Name	If true, mapping types are removed. for v7.0.0 or later
Buffer Size	Specify the buffer size used to read the response from the OpenSearch HTTP service. This option is useful for debugging purposes where is required to read full responses, note that response size grows depending of the number of records inserted. To set an unlimited amount of memory set this value to 'false', otherwise the value must be according to the Unit Size specification
Path	Opensearchaccepts new data on HTTP query path '/_bulk'. But it is also possible to serve Elasticsearch behind a reverse proxy on a subpath. This option defines such path on the fluent-bit side. It simply adds a path prefix in the indexing HTTP POST URI
Pipeline	Newer versions of OpenSearch allows to setup filters called pipelines. This option allows to define which pipeline the database should use. For performance reasons is strongly suggested to do parsing and filtering on Fluent Bit side, avoid pipelines
Generate ID	When enabled, generate _id for outgoing records. This prevents duplicate records when retrying ES
Write Operation	Operation to use to write in bulk requests
ID Key	If set, _id will be the value of the key from incoming record.
Replace Dots	Use current time for index generation instead of message record
Logstash Prefix	When Logstash_Format is enabled, the Index name is composed using a prefix and the date, e.g: If Logstash_Prefix is equals to 'mydata' your index will become 'mydata-YYYY.MM.DD'. The last string appended belongs to the date when the data is being generated'
Logstash Prefix Key	When included: the value in the record that belongs to the key will be looked up and over-write the Logstash_Prefix for index generation. If the key/value is not found in the record then the Logstash_Prefix option will act as a fallback. Nested keys are supported through record accessor pattern
Logstash Date Format	Time format (based on strftime) to generate the second part of the Index name
Time Key	When Logstash_Format is enabled, each record will get a new timestamp field. The Time_Key property defines the name of that field
Time Key Format	When Logstash_Format is enabled, this property defines the format of the timestamp
Time Key Nanos	When Logstash_Format is enabled, enabling this property sends nanosecond precision timestamps
Include Tag Key	When enabled, it append the Tag name to the record
Tag Key	When Include_Tag_key is enabled, this property defines the key name of the tag in the message

Keepalive Idle Timeout	Set maximum time allowed for an idle Keepalive connection
Max Connect Timeout	Set maximum time allowed to establish a connection, this time includes the TLS handshake
Max Connect Timeout Log Error	On connection timeout, specify if it should log an error. When disabled, the timeout is logged as a debug message
Max Keepalive Recycle	Set maximum number of times a keepalive connection can be used before it is retired.
Source Address	Specify network address to bind for data traffic
