feat(elasticsearch): enhance Elasticsearch output to support multiple endpoints by Clee2691 · Pull Request #3451 · openshift/cluster-logging-operator

Clee2691 · 2026-09-02T17:11:55Z

Description

This PR enhances the ElasticSearch output to support multiple endpoints, allowing Vector to distribute events across multiple endpoints using P2C (Power of Two Choices) load balancing with automatic failover.

The ClusterLogForwarder API currently only supports a single URL for Elasticsearch outputs via the embedded URLSpec struct, preventing users from configuring multi-node Elasticsearch clusters for high availability and load distribution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

Elasticsearch outputs now support an optional primary URL and multiple validated endpoints. Vector generation, port extraction, TLS validation, schemas, documentation, and functional tests process both configurations. TLS profile documentation is also expanded.

Changes

Elasticsearch endpoint support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Endpoint API and schema contract `api/observability/v1/output_types.go`, `api/observability/v1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go`, `bundle/manifests/...`, `config/crd/...`, `config/manifests/...`	Elasticsearch defines optional `url` and validated `endpoints` fields. Validation requires at least one destination.
Endpoint merging and generated sink `internal/generator/vector/...`	Vector receives the primary URL followed by all configured endpoints. Tests and fixtures cover both endpoint configurations.
Network and TLS processing `internal/network/...`, `internal/validations/observability/outputs/...`	Port extraction and TLS validation process every configured URL.
Functional coverage and fixture migration `test/framework/...`, `test/functional/...`, `test/e2e/...`, `test/runtime/...`	Functional tests provision multiple Elasticsearch nodes and verify endpoint-only and combined configurations. Existing fixtures use the explicit `URL` field.

TLS profile documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
TLS security profile reference `docs/reference/operator/api_observability_v1.adoc`	The reference documents TLS profiles, cipher suites, supported groups, ordering, compatibility, and FIPS behavior.

Repository metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Repository metadata `.gitignore`, `bundle/manifests/cluster-logging.clusterserviceversion.yaml`	The ignore list includes local Claude settings. The CSV timestamp and Elasticsearch endpoint descriptor are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8c57a

Elasticsearch outputs can now use validated endpoint lists while retaining URL compatibility; invalid empty URL configurations are rejected, with no current merge-readiness risk identified.

Support multiple Elasticsearch output endpoints

✨ Enhancement 🧪 Tests 📝 Documentation 🕐 40+ Minutes

AI Description

• Adds validated multi-endpoint Elasticsearch configuration while preserving the legacy URL field.
• Applies network-port and TLS processing across every configured destination.
• Covers endpoint-only and combined configurations with snapshot, unit, and functional tests.

  SINK -->|"P2C failover"| ES2["ES Endpoint 2"]

High-Level Assessment

The selected approach is appropriate: it delegates balancing and failover to Vector's native multi-endpoint Elasticsearch sink while retaining the existing URL field for backward compatibility. Replacing URL outright would create an unnecessary API migration, while implementing balancing inside the operator would duplicate runtime behavior already provided by Vector.

Code Review by Qodo

🐞 Bugs (1) 📘 Rule violations (0) 📜 Skill insights (0)

1. Empty URL bypasses requirement 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

An explicitly specified url: "" satisfies has(self.url) while also passing the field-level
empty-string rule, so the API accepts an Elasticsearch output with no usable destination.
mergeEndpoints then omits the empty URL and generates a Vector sink without any endpoints.

Code

api/observability/v1/output_types.go[685]

+// +kubebuilder:validation:XValidation:rule="has(self.url) || self.endpoints.size() > 0", message="URL or endpoints required"

Relevance

●●● Strong
Concrete API correctness gap permits empty destinations despite the new URL-or-endpoints
requirement.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The URL validation explicitly accepts an empty string, while the object rule checks only field
presence. The generator appends URL only when non-empty and passes the resulting slice directly
into the sink, so url: "" without endpoints produces no destination.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The Elasticsearch object-level CEL rule uses `has(self.url)`, allowing an explicitly present empty URL to satisfy the destination requirement. Since the URL field separately permits an empty string and the generator excludes empty values, this admits configurations that produce a Vector sink without endpoints.

## Issue Context
Require either a non-empty URL or at least one endpoint. Regenerate both checked-in CRD manifests after changing the API marker, and add validation coverage for `url: ""` with absent and empty endpoints.

2. ~~Test ignores missing endpoint~~ ✗ Dismissed 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new functional test discards each Elasticsearch query error and validates only the combined log
count. It therefore still passes if generation omits one configured endpoint and all ten events
reach the other node, leaving the central multi-endpoint behavior unverified.

Code

test/functional/outputs/elasticsearch/forward_to_elasticsearch_test.go[R355-358]

+			queryNode := func(result *[]string, nodeName, index string, opts ...functional.Option) {
+				defer wg.Done()
+				defer GinkgoRecover()
+				*result, _ = framework.GetLogsFromElasticSearchIndex(nodeName, index, opts...)

Relevance

●●● Strong
Aggregate-only assertion misses endpoint failures; accepted test precedents favor explicit
validation scenarios.
PR-#3251

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
queryNode assigns the returned logs while discarding the error, and getLogsFromAllEndpoints
returns only the sum of both lengths. The final assertion requires a total of ten but imposes no
per-endpoint requirement, so one endpoint may be absent or unusable without failing the test.
test/functional/outputs/elasticsearch/forward_to_elasticsearch_test.go[348-367]
test/functional/outputs/elasticsearch/forward_to_elasticsearch_test.go[369-397]
test/framework/functional/output_elasticsearch.go[172-229]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The multi-endpoint functional test ignores query errors and asserts only a combined count. A configuration containing just one of the two endpoints can therefore satisfy the test, despite the test being intended to verify multi-endpoint generation and distribution.

## Issue Context
Collect and assert query errors from both goroutines, and require evidence that each configured node received events. Preserve concurrency so an endpoint failure does not introduce sequential polling delays.
