Listening for slow queries?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

Is there any way to hook up to ES and listed for slow queries? By slow
queries I mean
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/slowlog.html .
I'd love to be able to have some sort of a listener and do something
custom (e.g. log elsewhere, index, analyze, rewrite, etc.) with slow
queries.

If there is no way to do that, should I open an issue?

Thanks,
Otis

Otis,

Slow queries are logged by a standard ES logger. The logging.xml file
configures this logger to use DailyRollingFileAppender to log slow query
messages to a separate file. You can replace DailyRollingFileAppender with
your own custom appender by adding your appender to the elasticsearch
classpath and specifying your appender's class name in

appender:
index_search_slow_log_file:
type: com.sematext.YourCustomAppender
...

As igore pointed out, an appender is the only way to go. We could allow for
plugins to register custom listeners for it.
