elasticsearch

dp-elasticsearch

Elasticsearch library to create an elasticsearch client to be able to make requests to elasticsearch.

elasticsearch package

Includes implementation of a health checker, that reuses the elasticsearch client to check requests can be made against elasticsearch cluster and known indexes.

health checker

Using elasticsearch checker function currently performs a GET request against elasticsearch 'cluster health' API (/_cluster/health")

The healthcheck will only succeed if the request can be performend and the cluster is in green state. If the cluster is in yellow state, a Checker in WARNING status will be returned. In any other case, a CRITICAL Checker will be returned.

Read the Health Check Specification for details.

Instantiate an elasticsearch client

import "github.com/ONSdigital/dp-elasticsearch/elasticsearch/v3"

...
    cli := elasticsearch.NewClient(<url>, <maxRetries>, <optional array of indexes>)
...

Call elasticsearch health checker with cli.Checker(context.Background()) and this will return a check object like so:

{
    "name": "string",
    "status": "string",
    "message": "string",
    "status_code": "int",
    "last_checked": "ISO8601 - UTC date time",
    "last_success": "ISO8601 - UTC date time",
    "last_failure": "ISO8601 - UTC date time"
}
