Instrumented methods:

  • elasticsearch.transport.Transport.perform_request
  • elasticsearch.connection.http_urllib3.Urllib3HttpConnection.perform_request
  • elasticsearch.connection.http_requests.RequestsHttpConnection.perform_request
  • elasticsearch._async.transport.AsyncTransport.perform_request
  • elasticsearch_async.connection.AIOHttpConnection.perform_request

Additionally, the instrumentation wraps the following methods of the Elasticsearch client class:

  • elasticsearch.client.Elasticsearch.delete_by_query
  • elasticsearch.client.Elasticsearch.search
  • elasticsearch.client.Elasticsearch.count
  • elasticsearch.client.Elasticsearch.update

Collected trace data:

  • the query string (if available)
  • the query element from the request body (if available)
  • the response status code
  • the count of affected rows (if available)

We recommend using keyword arguments only with elasticsearch-py, as recommended by the elasticsearch-py docs. If you are using positional arguments, we will be unable to gather the query element from the request body.
