=== Es_bulk codec plugin

include::{include_path}/plugin_header.asciidoc[]

==== Description

This codec will decode the http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html[Elasticsearch bulk format]
into individual events, plus metadata into the `@metadata` field.

Encoding is not supported at this time as the Elasticsearch
output submits Logstash events in bulk format.

==== Codec settings in the `logstash-input-http` plugin 

The {logstash-ref}/plugins-inputs-http.html[input-http] plugin has two
configuration options for codecs: `codec` and `additional_codecs`. 

Values in `additional_codecs` are prioritized over those specified in the
`codec` option. That is, the default `codec` is applied only if no codec
for the request's content-type is found in the `additional_codecs` setting.
