Helper to send elasticsearch request from a lambda

Lambda to Elasticsearch

Module to stream data to Elasticsearch from a lambda function.

Heavily inspired by aws samples.

Install

npm install --save lambda-elasticsearch

Usage

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var elastic = require('lambda-elasticsearch')(AWS, {
	endpoint: 'your.elasticsearch.es.amazon.com',
	region: 'eu-west-1'
});

elastic.send({
	method: 'GET',
	path: '/domain/index/id'
}, function (err, data) {
	console.log(data);
});

Advanced usage

By default the module expects a JSON response. If you're expecting plain text you can call

elastic.send({
	method: 'GET',
	path: '/_cat/indices',
	json: false
}, function (err, data) {
	console.log(data); // as plain text
});

If json:true and the response is not a valid JSON, the callback receives an error containing responseText for debug purposes.
