Using elasticsearch as a realtime fire hose

I was wondering whether there were any mechanisms to use ES as a realtime
feed for downstream systems. I have a cluster that gathers observations
from many sensors. I have a need to maintain a list of realtime counters in
REDIS so I want to further process these observation once they hit the
database. Additionally I also want to be able to create event streams for
different type of feeds.

I could do all this outside ES but I was wondering whether there were
mechanisms within ES that will allow me to subscribe to add events for a
particular type or index.

cheers

What kind of events do you think of? Single new document indexed? Batch of
docs indexed? Node-wide? Or cluster wide?

You mention Redis, for something like publish/subscribe pattern, you'd have
to use a persistent connection and implement your own ES actions, which is
possible with e.g. HTTP websockets

A sketchy implementation can be found here:

event on whenever a document is added to an index cluster wide

A sketchy implementation can be found here:

GitHub - jprante/elasticsearch-transport-websocket: WebSockets for ElasticSearch

thanks for the reference, I will have a deeper look at it.

You might want to look at developing a plugin for this or maybe using an
existing one. This one for example might do partly what you
need: GitHub - derryx/elasticsearch-changes-plugin: An Elasticsearch Plugin that notifies about changes to indices

If you develop your own plugin, you should be able to tap into what is
happening in the cluster at a pretty low level.
