ElasticSearch

This forwarder is used to persist a log record in an ElasticSearch index.

NB: If the target index does not exist, it will be created.

resp, err := client.Indices.Exists(
  []string{index},
  client.Indices.Exists.WithContext(ctx),

    index,
    client.Indices.Create.WithContext(ctx),
