Elasticsearch: Declare the pipeline attachment

This documentation is part of the Ingest attachment plugin guide. View the full guide here: How to extract data from PPT, XLS, and PDF files to Elasticsearch.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero delivers a fully managed Elasticsearch cloud service designed for professionals who need reliable search, analytics, and logging at scale.

• Consistent performance and strong security with a private, dedicated infrastructure.
• Easily set up a custom domain name secured by HTTPS.

Get started quickly and focus on your work: you can have a production-ready Elasticsearch cloud hosting environment in about 5 minutes, with routine maintenance and security handled for you.

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.
