Update Elasticsearch Templates to Work with Elasticsearch 5.x
HCP requires that all sensor templates have a nested metron_alert
field defined to work with Elasticsearch 5.x.
-
Retrieve the template.
The following example appends
index*
to get all indexes for the provided sensor:export ELASTICSEARCH="node1" export SENSOR="bro" curl -XGET "http://${ELASTICSEARCH}:9200/_template/${SENSOR}_index*?pretty=true" -o "${SENSOR}.template"
- Remove an extraneous JSON field so you can put it back later, and add the alert field:
sed -i '' '2d;$d' ./${SENSOR}.template sed -i '' '/"properties" : {/ a\ "metron_alert": { "type": "nested"},' ${SENSOR}.template
- Verify your changes:
python -m json.tool bro.template
- Add the template back into Elasticsearch:
curl -XPUT "http://${ELASTICSEARCH}:9200/_template/${SENSOR}_index" -d @${SENSOR}.template
-
To update existing indexes, update Elasticsearch mapings with the new field for each
sensor:
curl -XPUT "http://${ELASTICSEARCH}:9200/${SENSOR}_index*/_mapping/${SENSOR}_doc" -d ' { "properties" : { "metron_alert" : { "type" : "nested" } } } ' rm ${SENSOR}.template
