You may wonder why this even exists, as at first glance it doesn't seem to make anything any easier than just using the elasticsearch8 Python module to build a client connection. I needed to be able to reuse the more complex schema validation bits I was employing, namely:
-
master_onlydetection - Elasticsearch version checking and validation, and the option to skip this.
- Configuration value validation, including file paths for SSL certificates, meaning:
- No unknown keys or unacceptable parameter values are accepted
- Acceptable values and ranges are established (where known)--and easy to amend, if necessary.
So, if you don't need these, then this library probably isn't what you're looking for. If you want these features, then you've come to the right place.
from es_client import Builder
config = {
'elasticsearch': {
'client': {
'hosts': 'https://10.0.0.123:9200',
'ca_certs': '/etc/elasticsearch/certs/ca.crt',
'request_timeout': 60,
},
'other_settings': {
'master_only': false,
'username': 'joe_user',
'password': 'password',
}
},
'logging': {
'loglevel': 'INFO',
'logfile': '/path/to/file.log',
'logformat': 'default',
}
}
builder = Builder(configdict=config)
try:
builder.connect()
except:
# Do exception handling here...
client = builder.clientAdditionally, you can read from a YAML configuration file:
---

builder = Builder(configfile='/path/to/es_client.yml')
try:
builder.connect()
except:
# Do exception handling here...
client = builder.clientThe same schema validations apply here as well.
