I have used Elastic Search High Level Client to search the elastic index and process the results. I have used the following code to do the same.
restHighLevelClient.search(searchRequest,RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
However, rest client uses "GET" to query the data. However, I want to send this as a Post request to Elastic Search. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
After discussion (see comments), there was no need to force the High Level Rest Client to use POST instead of GET as GET is using behind the scene GET with body.

I have a scenario where multiple requests are hitting the ES server concurrently resulting in 409 version conflict. So I followed the official documentation of ES and started using the retry_on_conflict query parameter in the header.
What are the side effects of using the param?
Will there be any data loss by using the query param?
Will both the documents get merged ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Official documentation:
retry_on_conflict
(Optional, integer) Specify how many times should the operation be retried when a conflict occurs. Default: 0.

I am trying to Use my Elastic search server installed in my local machine to use Postman .i.e., With the help of Postman I want to Post Data and retrieve it with a get operation but unable to do it as I am getting error unknown key [High] for create index
So please help me with the same.
If you want to add a document to your index,
your url should look something like this ( for document ID 1 ) :
PUT http://localhost:9200/test/_doc/1
A good place to start :
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/getting-started-index.html
For indexing document in the index
PUT http://localhost:9200/my_index/_doc/1
Retrieving indexed document
GET http://localhost:9200/my_index/_doc/1
Introduction:
Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of addressing a growing number of use cases. As the heart of the Elastic Stack, it centrally stores your data for lightning fast search, fine‑tuned relevancy, and powerful analytics that scale with ease.
Kibana is a free and open user interface that lets you visualize your Elasticsearch data and navigate the Elastic Stack. Do anything from tracking query load to understanding the way requests flow through your apps.
Logstash is a free and open server-side data processing pipeline that ingests data from a multitude of sources, transforms it, and then sends it to your favorite “stash.” .
Elasticsearch exposes itself through rest API so in this case you don't have to use logstash as we are directly adding data to elastic search
How to add it directly
you can create an index and type using :
{{url}}/index/type
where index is like a table and type is like just a unique data type that we will be storing to the index. Eg {{url}/movielist/movie

I'm trying to build some kind of monitor for my ELK stack. I want to know when/if my ELK is down. This will be just a simple solution. I was tasked with integrating a on/off signal within a bigger, global monitoring tool.
So I want to query my ELKs elasticsearch for the latest entry that matches one particular field value. My ELK data contains a field for each access.log row that states which server was the origin. So there is always say server_node.raw=Tomcat1 oder Tomcat2 or ...
I do get a result from my index but this seems like metadata to me. http://10.170.121.148:9100/logstash-2015.11.10/?pretty
Is there a way to query ES for the latest entry that matches server_node.raw=Tomcat1 using a simple HTTP request?
Using server_node.raw in Kibana works perfectly fine.
Anyone with an idea? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and regards. Sebastian
Yes, you are on the right path, you can simply query your logstash index with a URI search and &q=server_node.raw:... like this
curl -XGET 'http://10.170.121.148:9100/logstash-2015.11.10/_search?q=server_node.raw:Tomcat1&pretty'
I am using elastic search for the project I'm working on and I was wondering if there was a way to narrow the results I get from an indices stats search.
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-stats.html
I currently use the docs to narrow the data I get back about the indices but now I want to only get back ones with a doc count greater than 0. Does anyone know if this is possible or how to?
Thanks!
For elastic search 1.5.2
If you're concerned about the size of the response (i.e. if you many many indices with many shards), the best you can do is to use response filtering (available only since ES 1.7) and only retrieve the docs field that you can further filter on the client-side:
curl 'localhost:9200/_stats/docs?pretty&filter_path=**.docs.count'
I'm using CouchDB river plugin with Elastic Search. In my web application, I am using CouchDB's bulk insert to insert documents into CouchDB. This triggers the changes feed and ES reads this to index my documents. The problem now is that my web ui isn't showing anything because ES is still indexing the documents.
I'm using PyES to "talk" to ES by the way. Is there any function I can call to know whether Elastic Search is busy indexing?
Thanks a million.
Even if ES is indexing, ES should answer to queries.
Could you check with a
curl localhost:9200/_search?q=*
That your index has docs in it while indexing from couchDb?
[UPDATE]
You have to know that Elasticsearch is a Near Real Time search engine. So, you have to wait some seconds to be able to search for your docs.
You can retrieve your docs immediatly but you need to wait for the refresh process.
You can trigger manually the refresh API. But it could slow down dramatically your insertions.
Does it help?
