# Fluent::Plugin::Elasticsearch

I wrote this so you can search logs routed through Fluentd.

## Installation

    $ gem install fluent-plugin-elasticsearch

## Usage

In your fluentd configration, use `type elasticsearch`. Additional configuration is optional, default values would look like this:

```
host localhost
port 9200
index_name fluentd
type_name fluentd
```


**More options:**

```
logstash_format true # defaults to false
```

This is meant to make writing data into elasticsearch compatible to what logstash writes. By doing this, one could take advantade of [kibana](http://kibana.org/).

---

```
include_tag_key true # defaults to false
tag_key tag # defaults to tag
```

This will add the fluentd tag in the json record. For instance, if you have a config like this:

```
<match my.logs>
  type elasticsearch
  include_tag_key true
  tag_key _key
</match>
```

The record inserted into elasticsearch would be

```
{"_key":"my.logs", "name":"Johnny Doeie"}
```

---

fluentd-plugin-elasticsearch is a buffered output that uses elasticseach's bulk API. So additional buffer configuration would be (with default values):

```
buffer_type memory
flush_interval 60
retry_limit 17
retry_wait 1.0
num_threads 1
```
