Next, declare the attachment pipeline in Elasticsearch. In this example, the content you wish to extract is stored in the field data:

PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
  "description": "Extract attachment information",
  "processors": [
    {
      "attachment": {
        "field": "data"
      }
    }
  ]
}

We recommend using the "Dev Tools" in Kibana for a simple copy/paste execution of this command.
