pg-replicate-elastic 1.0.3

Replication PostreSQL to Elasticsearch via Logical replication slots

Install

$ pip install pg-replicate-elastic

wal2json

Note: Use my fork as we tested it to be 100% sure it work with it and no breaking changes happen, wal2json .

$ git clone https://github.com/hmilkovi/wal2json.git
$ PATH=/path/to/bin/pg_config:$PATH
$ USE_PGXS=1 make
$ USE_PGXS=1 make install

You need to set up at least two parameters at postgresql.conf:

wal_level = logical
max_replication_slots = 1

After changing these parameters, a restart is needed.

Usage

pg_replicate_elastic --config=<absolute path to json config>

Construct configuration file in json format where:

• replication_slot json object for replication slot name and if is temporary
• tables is array of tables we want to replicate
• es_connection connection string to Elasticsearch
• postgres json object for PostreSQL connection
• inital_sync boolean for inital syncronization that needs to be done first time to replicate old data

Example configuration

{
	"replication_slot": {
		"name": "elasticsearch_slot",
		"is_temp": true
	},
	"tables": [{
		"name": "poc",
		"primary_key": "a"
		"exclude_columns": "c,z"
	}],
	"es_connection": "http://127.0.0.1:9200/",
	"postgres": {
		"port": 5432,
		"host": "127.0.0.1",
		"database": "poc",
		"username": "test",
		"password": "test"
	},
	"inital_sync": false
}
