Unclear how to search a particular ES source when multiple ES sources are configured

[clarenceb]

On this page https://github.com/etsy/411/blob/master/docs/HowTo/NewESSource.md it describes how to add additional ES sources by editing the config.php file. However, its unclear to me how to direct a "Logstash" search to a particular ES source.

• Will my search run against all ES sources defined?
• Am I supposed to add something to my ESQuery line to target the particular ES source?

This might just be more of a documentation thing or perhaps I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

Getting this to work is more difficult than necessary, see #3. I'll make it a high priority to get a better solution that doesn't involve creating a new class.

Ok, thanks. Rather than storing the ES API URL in config.php, could this not just be stored in the searches table much like the URL is stored for HTTP searches? It should be (?) pretty simple to type in the ES API URL for Logstash searches (e.g. just about the query field) and store this with the search data. From the UX point-of-view, it might get repetitive after a while, where a drop-down with known ES API URLs would be more convenient.

This should be resolved per #4. :]

If you're feeling adventurous, you can test out the new ES search type on HEAD. I've got some odds n ends to clean up before I push out v1.2 proper.

Out in v1.2.0
