Elasticsearch
The Elasticsearch (elasticsearch
) action writes data from MQTT messages
to an Amazon OpenSearch Service domain. You can then use tools like OpenSearch Dashboards
to query and visualize data in OpenSearch Service.
Warning
The Elasticsearch
action can only be used by existing rule actions. To create a
new rule action or to update an existing rule action, use the
OpenSearch
rule action instead. For more information, see OpenSearch.
Requirements
This rule action has the following requirements:
-
An IAM role that Amazon IoT can assume to perform the
es:ESHttpPut
operation. For more information, see Granting an Amazon IoT rule the access it requires.In the Amazon IoT console, you can choose or create a role to allow Amazon IoT to perform this rule action.
-
If you use a customer managed Amazon KMS key (KMS key) to encrypt data at rest in OpenSearch, the service must have permission to use the KMS key on the caller's behalf. For more information, see Encryption of data at rest for Amazon OpenSearch Service in the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide.

Examples
The following JSON example defines an Elasticsearch action in an Amazon IoT
rule and how you can specify the fields for the elasticsearch
action. For more information, see ElasticsearchAction.
{ "topicRulePayload": { "sql": "SELECT *, timestamp() as timestamp FROM 'iot/test'", "ruleDisabled": false, "awsIotSqlVersion": "2016-03-23", "actions": [ { "elasticsearch": { "endpoint": "https://my-endpoint", "index": "my-index", "type": "my-type", "id": "${newuuid()}", "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/aws_iot_es" } } ] } }
The following JSON example defines an Elasticsearch action with substitution templates in an Amazon IoT rule.
