Properties

In the list below required Properties are shown with an asterisk (*). Other properties are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, and whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language.

Display NameAPI NameDefault ValueAllowable ValuesDescription
HTTP Hosts *el-cs-http-hostsA comma-separated list of HTTP hosts that host Elasticsearch query nodes. Note that the Host is included in requests as a header (typically including domain and port, e.g. elasticsearch:9200).

Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables.
Path Prefixel-cs-path-prefixSets the path's prefix for every request used by the http client. For example, if this is set to "/my/path", then any client request will become "/my/path/" + endpoint. In essence, every request's endpoint is prefixed by this pathPrefix. The path prefix is useful for when Elasticsearch is behind a proxy that provides a base path or a proxy that requires all paths to start with '/'; it is not intended for other purposes and it should not be supplied in other scenarios
Authorization Scheme *authorization-schemeBasic
  • None
  • PKI
  • Basic
  • API Key
Authorization Scheme used for optional authentication to Elasticsearch.
Usernameel-cs-usernameThe username to use with XPack security.

Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables.

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Authorization Scheme has a value of BASIC
Passwordel-cs-passwordThe password to use with XPack security.

Supports Expression Language, using Environment variables.

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Authorization Scheme has a value of BASIC
API Key IDapi-key-idUnique identifier of the API key.

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Authorization Scheme has a value of API_KEY
API Keyapi-keyEncoded API key.

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Authorization Scheme has a value of API_KEY
SSL Context Serviceel-cs-ssl-context-serviceController Service:
SSLContextService

Implementations:
StandardRestrictedSSLContextService
StandardSSLContextService
The SSL Context Service used to provide client certificate information for TLS/SSL connections. This service only applies if the Elasticsearch endpoint(s) have been secured with TLS/SSL.
Proxy Configuration Serviceproxy-configuration-serviceController Service:
ProxyConfigurationService

Implementations:
StandardProxyConfigurationService
Specifies the Proxy Configuration Controller Service to proxy network requests. Supported proxies: HTTP
Connect timeout *el-cs-connect-timeout5000Controls the amount of time, in milliseconds, before a timeout occurs when trying to connect.
Read timeout *el-cs-socket-timeout60000Controls the amount of time, in milliseconds, before a timeout occurs when waiting for a response.
Charset *el-cs-charsetUTF-8The charset to use for interpreting the response from Elasticsearch.
Suppress Null/Empty Values *el-cs-suppress-nullsAlways Suppress
  • Never Suppress
  • Always Suppress
Specifies how the writer should handle null and empty fields (including objects and arrays)
Enable Compression *el-cs-enable-compressionfalse
  • true
  • false
Whether the REST client should compress requests using gzip content encoding and add the "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header to receive compressed responses
Send Meta Header *el-cs-send-meta-headertrue
  • true
  • false
Whether to send a "X-Elastic-Client-Meta" header that describes the runtime environment. It contains information that is similar to what could be found in User-Agent. Using a separate header allows applications to use User-Agent for their own needs, e.g. to identify application version or other environment information
Strict Deprecation *el-cs-strict-deprecationfalse
  • true
  • false
Whether the REST client should return any response containing at least one warning header as a failure
Node Selector *el-cs-node-selectorAny
  • Any
  • Skip Dedicated Masters
Selects Elasticsearch nodes that can receive requests. Used to keep requests away from dedicated Elasticsearch master nodes
Sniff Cluster Nodes *el-cs-sniff-cluster-nodesfalse
  • true
  • false
Periodically sniff for nodes within the Elasticsearch cluster via the Elasticsearch Node Info API. If Elasticsearch security features are enabled (default to "true" for 8.x+), the Elasticsearch user must have the "monitor" or "manage" cluster privilege to use this API.Note that all HTTP Hosts (and those that may be discovered within the cluster using the Sniffer) must use the same protocol, e.g. http or https, and be contactable using the same client settings. Finally the Elasticsearch "network.publish_host" must match one of the "network.bind_host" list entries see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html for more information
Sniffer Interval *el-cs-sniffer-interval5 minsInterval between Cluster sniffer operations

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Sniff Cluster Nodes has a value of true
Sniffer Request Timeout *el-cs-sniffer-request-timeout1 secCluster sniffer timeout for node info requests

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Sniff Cluster Nodes has a value of true
Sniff on Failure *el-cs-sniff-failurefalse
  • true
  • false
Enable sniffing on failure, meaning that after each failure the Elasticsearch nodes list gets updated straightaway rather than at the following ordinary sniffing round

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Sniff Cluster Nodes has a value of true
Sniffer Failure Delay *el-cs-sniffer-failure-delay1 minDelay between an Elasticsearch request failure and updating available Cluster nodes using the Sniffer

This property is only considered if:
  • the property Sniff on Failure has a value of true
