Bro's ElasticSearch writer comes with a few configuraiton options::
- cluster_name:: Currently unused.
- server_host:: Where to send the data. Default localhost.
- server_port:: What port to send the data to. Default 9200.
- index_name:: ElasticSearch indexes are like databases in a standard DB model.
This is the name of the index to which to send the data. Default bro-logs.
- type_prefix:: ElasticSearch types are like tables in a standard DB model.
This is a prefix that gets prepended to Bro log names.
Example: type_prefix = "bro_" would create types "bro_dns", "bro_http", etc.
Default: none.
- batch_size:: How many messages to buffer before sending to ElasticSearch.
This is mainly a memory optimization - changing this doesn't seem to affect
indexing performance that much. Default: 10,000.
