## Quick Start 🚀
2023-07-04 09:13:14 +02:00
2025-11-29 09:48:31 +00:00
### SmartLog Destination
2023-07-04 09:13:14 +02:00
2025-11-29 09:48:31 +00:00
Perfect for application logging with automatic index rotation and Kibana compatibility:
2023-07-04 09:13:14 +02:00
2025-11-29 09:48:31 +00:00
```typescript
import { ElsSmartlogDestination } from '@apiclient .xyz/elasticsearch';
2019-11-03 00:49:35 +01:00
2025-11-29 09:48:31 +00:00
const logger = new ElsSmartlogDestination({
indexPrefix: 'app-logs',
indexRetention: 7, // Keep logs for 7 days
node: 'http://localhost:9200',
auth: {
username: 'elastic',
password: 'your-password',
},
});
2019-11-03 00:49:35 +01:00
2025-11-29 09:48:31 +00:00
// Log messages that automatically appear in Kibana
await logger.log({
timestamp: Date.now(),
type: 'increment',
level: 'info',
context: {
company: 'YourCompany',
companyunit: 'api-service',
containerName: 'web-server',
environment: 'production',
runtime: 'node',
zone: 'us-east-1',
},
message: 'User authentication successful',
correlation: null,
});
```
### ElasticDoc - Document Management
Handle documents with advanced features like piping sessions and snapshots:
```typescript
import { ElasticDoc } from '@apiclient .xyz/elasticsearch';
const docManager = new ElasticDoc({
index: 'products',
node: 'http://localhost:9200',
auth: {
username: 'elastic',
password: 'your-password',
},
});
// Start a piping session to manage document lifecycle
await docManager.startPipingSession({});
// Add or update documents
await docManager.pipeDocument({
docId: 'product-001',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
doc: {
name: 'Premium Widget',
price: 99.99,
inStock: true
},
});
await docManager.pipeDocument({
docId: 'product-002',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
doc: {
name: 'Deluxe Gadget',
price: 149.99,
inStock: false
},
});
// End session - automatically removes documents not in this session
await docManager.endPipingSession();
// Take and store snapshots with custom aggregations
await docManager.takeSnapshot(async (iterator, prevSnapshot) => {
const aggregationData = [];
for await (const doc of iterator) {
aggregationData.push(doc);
}
return {
date: new Date().toISOString(),
aggregationData,
};
});
```
### FastPush - Bulk Data Ingestion
Efficiently push large datasets with automatic index management:
```typescript
import { FastPush } from '@apiclient .xyz/elasticsearch';
const fastPush = new FastPush({
node: 'http://localhost:9200',
auth: {
username: 'elastic',
password: 'your-password',
},
});
const documents = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Document 1', data: 'Some data' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Document 2', data: 'More data' },
// ... thousands more documents
];
// Push all documents with automatic batching
await fastPush.pushDocuments('bulk-data', documents, {
deleteOldData: true, // Clear old data before inserting
});
```
### KVStore - Key-Value Storage
Simple key-value storage backed by the power of Elasticsearch:
```typescript
import { KVStore } from '@apiclient .xyz/elasticsearch';
const kvStore = new KVStore({
index: 'app-config',
node: 'http://localhost:9200',
auth: {
username: 'elastic',
password: 'your-password',
},
});
// Set values
await kvStore.set('api-key', 'sk-1234567890');
await kvStore.set('feature-flags', JSON.stringify({ newUI: true }));
// Get values
const apiKey = await kvStore.get('api-key');
console.log(apiKey); // 'sk-1234567890'
// Clear all data
await kvStore.clear();
```
## Core Classes 🏗️
### ElsSmartlogDestination
The main logging destination class that provides:
- Automatic index rotation based on date
- Configurable retention policies
- Kibana-compatible log format
- Data stream support
- Built-in scheduler for maintenance tasks
### ElasticDoc
Advanced document management with:
- Piping sessions for tracking document lifecycles
- Automatic cleanup of stale documents
- Snapshot functionality with custom processors
- Iterator-based document access
- Fast-forward mode for incremental processing
### FastPush
High-performance bulk operations:
- Automatic batching for optimal performance
- Index management (create, delete, clear)
- Dynamic mapping support
- Efficient bulk API usage
### KVStore
Simple key-value interface:
- Elasticsearch-backed storage
- Async/await API
- Automatic index initialization
- Clear and get operations
## Advanced Usage 🎓
### Index Rotation and Retention
```typescript
const logger = new ElsSmartlogDestination({
indexPrefix: 'myapp',
indexRetention: 30, // Keep 30 days of logs
node: 'http://localhost:9200',
});
// Indices are automatically created as: myapp-2025-01-22
// Old indices are automatically deleted after 30 days
```
### Document Iteration
```typescript
// Iterate over all documents in an index
const iterator = docManager.getDocumentIterator();
for await (const doc of iterator) {
console.log(doc);
}
// Only process new documents since last run
docManager.fastForward = true;
await docManager.startPipingSession({ onlyNew: true });
```
### Custom Snapshots
```typescript
await docManager.takeSnapshot(async (iterator, prevSnapshot) => {
let totalValue = 0;
let count = 0;
for await (const doc of iterator) {
totalValue += doc._source.price;
count++;
}
return {
date: new Date().toISOString(),
aggregationData: {
totalValue,
averagePrice: totalValue / count,
count,
previousSnapshot: prevSnapshot,
},
};
});
```
## API Compatibility 🔄
This module is built on top of `@elastic/elasticsearch` v9.x and is compatible with:
- Elasticsearch 8.x and 9.x clusters
- Kibana 8.x and 9.x for log visualization
- OpenSearch (with some limitations)
## TypeScript Support 💙
Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions:
```typescript
import type {
IElasticDocConstructorOptions,
ISnapshot,
SnapshotProcessor
} from '@apiclient .xyz/elasticsearch';
```
## Performance Considerations ⚡
- **Bulk Operations**: FastPush uses 1000-document batches by default
- **Connection Pooling**: Reuses Elasticsearch client connections
- **Index Management**: Automatic index creation and deletion
- **Data Streams**: Built-in support for efficient log ingestion
## Best Practices 💡
1. **Always use authentication ** in production environments
2. **Set appropriate retention policies ** to manage storage costs
3. **Use piping sessions ** to automatically clean up stale documents
4. **Leverage snapshots ** for point-in-time analytics
5. **Configure index templates ** for consistent mappings
