Properties:

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language, and whether a property is considered "sensitive", meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.

Proxy Configuration ServiceController Service API:
ProxyConfigurationService
Implementation: StandardProxyConfigurationService
Specifies the Proxy Configuration Controller Service to proxy network requests. If set, it supersedes proxy settings configured per component. Supported proxies: HTTP + AuthN, SOCKS

Identifier AttributeThe name of the FlowFile attribute containing the identifier for the document. If the Index Operation is "index", this property may be left empty or evaluate to an empty value, in which case the document's identifier will be auto-generated by Elasticsearch. For all other Index Operations, the attribute must evaluate to a non-empty value.
IndexThe name of the index to insert into
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
TypeThe type of this document (required by Elasticsearch versions < 7.0 for indexing and searching). This must be unset or '_doc' for Elasticsearch 7.0+.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
Batch Size100The preferred number of flow files to put to the database in a single transaction. Note that the contents of the flow files will be stored in memory until the bulk operation is performed. Also the results should be returned in the same order the flow files were received.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Index OperationindexThe type of the operation used to index (create, index, update, upsert, delete)
