Hello to everyone,
I use Elastic 6.1, Rest High level client for searching and adding information(logs and metrics).
Right know I need to test this service, methods for adding and saving information(like with the help of Junit4).
I have found documentation for this [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/testing-framework.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/testing-framework.html), but don't exactly understand how to do it and from what to start.
For example, I have such code for adding logs:
```
@Override
public void addLogsToES(ElasticSearchLogs elasticSearchLogs) throws NoConnectionException {
String date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format(new Date()).toLowerCase();
XContentBuilder builder;
try {
builder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("timeStamp", elasticSearchLogs.getTimeStamp())
.field("header", elasticSearchLogs.getHeader())
.field("type", elasticSearchLogs.getType())
.field("message", elasticSearchLogs.getMessage())
.field("level", elasticSearchLogs.getLevel())
.field("node", elasticSearchLogs.getNode())
.field("system", elasticSearchLogs.getSystem())
.field("version", elasticSearchLogs.getVersion())
.field("port", elasticSearchLogs.getPort())
.field("service", elasticSearchLogs.getService())
.field("module", elasticSearchLogs.getModule())
.field("submodule", elasticSearchLogs.getSubmodule())
.field("thread", elasticSearchLogs.getThread())
.field("operation", elasticSearchLogs.getOperation())
.field("sessionId", elasticSearchLogs.getSessionId())
.field("userLogin", elasticSearchLogs.getUserLogin())
.field("userName", elasticSearchLogs.getUserName())
.field("office", elasticSearchLogs.getOffice())
.field("location", elasticSearchLogs.getLocation())
.field("ip", elasticSearchLogs.getIp())
.field("device", elasticSearchLogs.getDevice())
.field("metricType", elasticSearchLogs.getMetricType())
.field("value", elasticSearchLogs.getValue())
.endObject();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new NoConnectionException("No connection to Elasticsearch", e);
}
if (elasticSearchLogs.getSystem().equals("front-admin")
&& (elasticSearchLogs.getTimeStamp() == null
|| elasticSearchLogs.getOperation() == null
|| elasticSearchLogs.getValue() == null || elasticSearchLogs.getValue() == null)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("elastic.metricValueEmpty");
}
IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest("portal-logs-" + date,
"logs_info").source(builder);
bulkProcessor.add(indexRequest);
}
```
From what I should start?

It's unclear to me what is actually your question?
Is it a question about "how to start elasticsearch from my maven build?" or something like this?
