Creating an ingest pipeline
In this recipe, we’ll dive into one of the lesser-known yet incredibly powerful features of Elasticsearch: ingest pipelines. These pipelines enable seamless transformation, enrichment, and manipulation of data as it enters Elasticsearch. Whether you’re managing log files, sensor data, or any other structured or unstructured data, ingest pipelines can significantly ease the workload for data engineers and analysts.
What sets Elasticsearch ingest pipelines apart is their simplicity combined with effectiveness. You’ll discover how easy it is to create a pipeline tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, we’ll demonstrate how to simulate the pipeline to test and validate your data processing logic against sample documents, ensuring data is handled exactly as intended.
