To enable this returner the elasticsearch python client must be installed on the desired minions (all or some subset).

Please see documentation of elasticsearch execution module for a valid connection configuration.

Warning

The index that you wish to store documents will be created by Elasticsearch automatically if doesn't exist yet. It is highly recommended to create predefined index templates with appropriate mapping(s) that will be used by Elasticsearch upon index creation. Otherwise you will have problems as described in #20826.

To use the returner per salt call:

salt '*' test.ping --return elasticsearch

In order to have the returner apply to all minions:
