Elasticsearch Search

Elasticsearch Search

Certified

Execute Elasticsearch search request

Runs the configured search against the Elasticsearch cluster and returns the response hits. Supports returning the first hit, all hits, or storing hits to Kestra internal storage; default fetchType=FETCH. Uses only the current response page—configure pagination on the request when you need more.

Properties

Elasticsearch connection

Connection settings shared by tasks; hosts are required.

Definitions
hosts*Requiredarray
SubTypestring
Min items1

Elasticsearch hosts

List of HTTP(S) endpoints including scheme and port, e.g. https://elasticsearch.com: 9200; at least one is required.

basicAuth

Basic authentication

Optional HTTP basic auth credentials rendered at runtime.

passwordstring

Basic auth password

Password for HTTP basic authentication.

usernamestring

Basic auth username

Username for HTTP basic authentication.

connectTimeoutstring

Connection timeout

Maximum time to wait to establish the TCP connection to an Elasticsearch host. When unset, the Elasticsearch client default applies (1 second). A value of PT0S means no timeout.

headersarray
SubTypestring

Custom HTTP headers

Headers sent on every request in Name: Value format, e.g. Authorization: Token XYZ.

pathPrefixstring

Request path prefix

Base path prepended to every Elasticsearch endpoint, e.g. /my/path. Use only when the cluster is served behind a proxy that requires a prefix; leave empty otherwise.

responseTimeoutstring

Response timeout

Maximum time to wait for a response once the request has been sent. When unset, the Elasticsearch client default applies (unbounded), so large bulk requests are not cut off. A value of PT0S means no timeout. Set a bound (e.g. PT60S) to protect against a hung cluster.

strictDeprecationModebooleanstring

Fail on warning headers

When true, any response containing Elasticsearch warning headers is treated as an error.

targetServerVersionintegerstring
Default8

Target Elasticsearch server major version

Major version used for compatibility headers (Accept and Content-Type). Set to 8 for Elasticsearch 8 clusters or 9 for Elasticsearch 9 clusters.

trustAllSslbooleanstring

Trust all SSL certificates

WARNING — SECURITY RISK: When enabled, disables BOTH TLS certificate validation (TrustAllStrategy) AND hostname verification (NoopHostnameVerifier). This makes the connection vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and must never be used in production. Prefer configuring a proper truststore for self-signed certificates instead.

Search request body

Elasticsearch search body as Map or JSON string; rendered before execution. Required.

DefaultFETCH
Possible Values
STOREFETCHFETCH_ONENONE

Result handling mode

Controls how hits are exposed in outputs; default FETCH returns all hits in the response. FETCH_ONE returns only the first hit, STORE writes hits to Kestra storage and returns a URI, and NONE leaves outputs empty.

SubTypestring

Target indices

List of Elasticsearch indices to query; empty means all indices.

Custom shard routing

Optional routing key hashed to pick the shard instead of using the document id.

First hit

Available only when fetchType=FETCH_ONE; contains the first hit source.

SubTypeobject

Fetched hits

Available only when fetchType=FETCH; contains hit sources for the current response page.

Returned hit count

Number of hits included in outputs for the selected fetch type.

Total hits reported

Total hits reported by Elasticsearch, regardless of pagination.

Formaturi

Stored hits URI

Available only when fetchType=STORE; Kestra internal storage path to the ION file.

Unitrecords

Number of records returned

Number of search requests sent

Duration of search requests
