Elasticsearch Notification Settings
This page documents settings for configuring an Elasticsearch service as a target for Bucket Notifications. See Publish Events to Elasticsearch for a tutorial on using these settings.
You can establish or modify settings by defining:
an environment variable on the host system prior to starting or restarting the MinIO Server. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for how to define an environment variable.
a configuration setting using
mc admin config set.a configuration setting using the MinIO Console’s Administrator > Settings pages.
If you define both an environment variable and the similar configuration setting, MinIO uses the environment variable value.
Some settings have only an environment variable or a configuration setting, but not both.
Important
Each configuration setting controls fundamental MinIO behavior and functionality. MinIO strongly recommends testing configuration changes in a lower environment, such as DEV or QA, before applying to production.
Multiple Elasticsearch Targets
You can specify multiple Elasticsearch service endpoints by appending a unique identifier _ID for each set of related settings.
For example, the following commands set two distinct Elasticsearch service endpoints as PRIMARY and SECONDARY, respectively:
Examples
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLE_PRIMARY="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_URL_PRIMARY="https://user:password@elasticsearch-endpoint.example.net:9200"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_PRIMARY="bucketevents"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_FORMAT_PRIMARY="namespace"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLE_SECONDARY="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_URL_SECONDARY="https://user:password@elasticsearch-endpoint.example.net:9200"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_SECONDARY="bucketevents"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_ELASTICSEARCH_FORMAT_SECONDARY="namespace"
mc admin config set notify_elasticsearch:primary \
url="user:password@https://elasticsearch-endpoint.example.net:9200" \
index="bucketevents" \
format="namespace" \
[ARGUMENT=VALUE ...]
mc admin config set notify_elasticsearch:secondary \
url="user:password@https://elasticsearch-endpoint.example.net:9200" \
index="bucketevents" \
format="namespace" \
[ARGUMENT=VALUE ...]
Notice that for configuration settings, the unique identifier appends to notify_elasticsearch only, not to each individual argument.
Settings
Enable
Required
Specify on to enable publishing bucket notifications to an Elasticsearch service endpoint.
Defaults to off.
Requires specifying the following additional environment variables if set to on:
- notify_elasticsearch
The top-level configuration key for defining an Elasticsearch service endpoint for use with MinIO bucket notifications.
Use
mc admin config setto set or update an Elasticsearch service endpoint. The following arguments are required for each target:Specify additional optional arguments as a whitespace (
" ")-delimited list.mc admin config set notify_elasticsearch \ url="https://user:password@elasticsearch.example.com:9200" \ [ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ... \
URL
Required
Specify the Elasticsearch service endpoint to which MinIO publishes bucket events.
For example, https://elasticsearch.example.com:9200.
MinIO supports passing authentication information using as URL parameters using the format PROTOCOL://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOSTNAME:PORT.
Changed in version RELEASE.2023-05-27T05-56-19Z: MinIO checks the health of the specified URL (if it is resolvable and reachable) prior to adding the target. MinIO no longer blocks adding new notification targets if existing targets are offline.
Index
Required
Specify the name of the Elasticsearch index in which to store or update MinIO bucket events. Elasticsearch automatically creates the index if it does not exist.
Format
Required
Specify the format of event data written to the Elasticsearch index. MinIO supports the following values:
namespaceFor each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the bucket and object name from the event as the document ID and the actual event as part of the document body. Additional updates to that object modify the existing index entry for that object. Similarly, deleting the object also deletes the corresponding index entry.
accessFor each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the event details and appends it to the index with an Elasticsearch-generated random ID. Additional updates to an object result in new index entries, and existing entries remain unmodified.
Username
Optional
The username for connecting to an Elasticsearch service endpoint which enforces authentication.
Password
Optional
The password for connecting to an Elasticsearch service endpoint which enforces authentication.
Changed in version RELEASE.2023-06-23T20-26-00Z: MinIO redacts this value when returned as part of mc admin config get.
Queue Directory
Optional
Specify the directory path to enable MinIO’s persistent event store for undelivered messages, such as /opt/minio/events.
MinIO stores undelivered events in the specified store while the Elasticsearch service is offline and replays the stored events when connectivity resumes.
Queue Limit
Optional
Specify the maximum limit for undelivered messages.
Defaults to 100000.
Comment
Optional
Specify a comment to associate with the Elasticsearch configuration.
