This is an addon to the official elasticsearch python client that adds functionality for the Watcher plugin.

Installation

You can install this addon using pip:

pip install elasticsearch-watcher

Usage

You can use this client alone:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from elasticsearch_watcher import WatcherClient

client = Elasticsearch()
watcher = WatcherClient(client)

watcher.get_watch(id=42)

Or you can add the watcher namespace to the official client to mimic the behaviors of other namespaces:

WatcherClient.infect_client(client)

client.watcher.get_watch(id=42)

Complex example

from time import sleep
from datetime import datetime
from random import randint

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
from elasticsearch_watcher import WatcherClient

# initialize the standard client as usual
es = Elasticsearch()
# add the .watcher namespace to it
WatcherClient.infect_client(es)

# clear the index fiorst
es.indices.delete(
    index=['alerts', 'test', '.watches', '.watch_history*'], ignore=404)

# get the watcher plugin version
print('Using watcher', es.watcher.info()['version']['number'])

# Register a new watch
es.watcher.put_watch(
    id='error_500',
    body={
        # label the watch
        'metadata': {'tags': ['errors']},

        # Run the watch every 10 seconds
        'trigger': { 'schedule': { 'interval': '10s' } },

        # Search for at least 3 documents matching the condition
        'condition': {  'script': { 'inline': 'ctx.payload.hits.total > 3' } },
