Hello Team,

Is is possible to call any REST API through the ingest pipeline script processor?

Thanks,  
Rohan

No you can’t. And you should not.

Latency will be always bad IMO and you are going to slow down dramatically your injection process.

If you have only 1 doc per second or less that might be possible though. But you need to write your own ingest plugin for that.

(I wish I had more free time to finish mine)

You can probably look at logstash to do such a thing although I’m unsure there is an http filter plugin available.

Thanks @dadoonet ,

Yes, through logstash its possible using ruby filter plugin but i'm using only filebeat--\>ingest pipeline--\>elasticsearch.

So wanted to check if this is possible to call rest api through ingest pipeline.

Thanks,  
Rohan
