elastinats

Intended to take from nats subjects/groups and pump data at elastic search. It will create 3 special fields:

• @timestamp - the unix timestamp
• @raw_msg - the raw string coming in
• @source - the subject from the message

If the data coming in is JSON it will parse that and send that parsed version to elasticsearch.

subject/group

If a group is specified it will subscibe that way, otherwise it will just subscribe to the subject. This is useful for scaling out the cluster.

For instance if you have 3 subjects: logs.file1, logs.file2, logs.file3. To distribute the load across multiple boxes the configuration on each would be:

{
 ...
   "subjects": [
      {
        "subject": "logs.*",
        "group": "shared"
      }
   ]
 ...
}

endpoint configuration

It is possible to specify the elasticsearch configuration per subject. If one isn't specified, the default endpoint is used.
