Ingest APIs

Manage ingest pipelines. Ingest pipelines can be used on a node with the ingest role to pre-process documents before indexing, to apply transformations and enrich data. Transformations are performed by processors in the pipeline, and can include such operations as

add, remove and append fields within the document
point documents to the right time-based index based on a timestamp within the document
extract details from fields with known formats and add new fields with extracted data

and many more.

All nodes enable ingest by default, so any node can handle ingest tasks. Ingest pipelines can be conditionally executed, and failures within pipelines can be explicitly handled by defining processors to execute in the event of failure.
