Serilog + serilog-sinks-elasticsearch +ElasticSearch Auth
If you want to stick with your configuration file (appsettings.json), knowing that you can use the argument connectionGlobalHeaders to specify the login/password, because Elasticsearch use Basic Authentication to authenticate the user.
Something like this:
"Serilog": {
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "Elasticsearch",
"Args": {
"nodeUris": "https://your-uri",
"connectionGlobalHeaders": "Authorization=Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=",
"indexFormat": "application-log-{0:yyyy.MM}",
"autoRegisterTemplate": true,
"autoRegisterTemplateVersion": "ESv7"
}
}
]
}
where the part after "Authorization=Basic" is the Base64 string of your "login:password".
I struggled to find a good solution for this too. Adding the username/password to the url definitely does work but somehow doesnt feel right.
This worked for me:
.WriteTo.Elasticsearch(new ElasticsearchSinkOptions(new Uri("https://your-deployment.westeurope.azure.elastic-cloud.com:9243"))
{
...,
ModifyConnectionSettings = x => x.BasicAuthentication("elastic", "your-password"),
})
Good question....
You might try supplying them as part of the Elasticsearch server/stack URL.
Example:
.WriteTo.Sink(new ElasticsearchSink(new ElasticsearchSinkOptions(new Uri(url))
{
AutoRegisterTemplate = true
}
where
url = "https://user:password@stack-server:port"
