=== Automatically following indices
|
|
|
|
beta[]
|
|
|
|
In time series use cases where you want to follow new indices that are
|
|
periodically created (such as daily Beats indices), manually configuring follower
|
|
indices for each new leader index can be an operational burden. The auto-follow
|
|
functionality in {ccr} is aimed at easing this burden. With the auto-follow
|
|
functionality, you can specify that new indices in a remote cluster that have a
|
|
name that matches a pattern are automatically followed.
|
|
|
|
==== Managing auto-follow patterns
|
|
|
|
You can add a new auto-follow pattern configuration with the
|
|
{ref}/ccr-put-auto-follow-pattern.html[create auto-follow pattern API]. When you create
|
|
a new auto-follow pattern configuration, you are configuring a collection of
|
|
patterns against a single remote cluster. Any time a new index with a name that
|
|
matches one of the patterns in the collection is created in the remote cluster,
|
|
a follower index is configured in the local cluster. The follower index uses the
|
|
new index as its leader index.
|
|
|
|
You can inspect all configured auto-follow pattern collections with the
|
|
{ref}/ccr-get-auto-follow-pattern.html[get auto-follow pattern API]. To delete a
|
|
configured auto-follow pattern collection, use the
|
|
{ref}/ccr-delete-auto-follow-pattern.html[delete auto-follow pattern API].
|
|
|
|
Since auto-follow functionality is handled automatically in the background on
|
|
your behalf, error reporting is done through logs on the elected master node
|
|
and through the {ref}/ccr-get-stats.html[{ccr} stats API].
