Update document on elasticsearch

[blackrez]

Hello,

We are migrating from fluentd to vector and we are stuck to replace the update document with a same ID. FluentD supports upsert with Elasticsearch but this not the case of vector. Is there an another solution ?

Hi @blackrez ,

You should be able to set https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/elasticsearch/#bulk.action to index to have Vector "upsert". The default is create.

We are open to contributions but otherwise we can't promise a timeline. I can say that feature requests are reviewed and prioritized based on expected impact and demand.

For the impact, I can say it will help a lot of customers using Elasticsearch with fluentd or logstash to migrate for vector 😉 .
