ElasticSearch connection not appearing in Copy Data activity

EHD — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 15:41:33 GMT

Hi all,

I'm still a bit new to Microsoft Fabric, so I'm hoping for some guidance.

I'm trying to set up a connection to Elasticsearch so that I can use it as a source in a Copy Data activity within my Pipeline.

I've successfully created an on-premises connection using our gateway and selected "Elasticsearch" as the connection type. When I check its status in Manage Connection and Gateways, it shows as "Online", so the connection appears to be working.

However, when I try to add a Copy Data activity in my pipeline, the Elasticsearch connection does not appear as an available data source.

Has anyone else encountered this? Am I missing a step, or is Elasticsearch not supported in Fabric Pipelines yet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello @EHD

Microsoft Fabric currently does not provide a native connector for Elasticsearch in its Copy Data activity within Data Factory pipelines

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/pipeline-support

https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Engineering/Getting-data-from-elasticsearch/m-p/3263796

Microsoft Fabric's Data Factory does not include Elasticsearch in its list of supported connectors for data pipelines

The REST connector can be used to interact with Elasticsearch by leveraging its API.

If this is helpful ,please accept this solution and guve kudos

Thanks @nilendraFabric, very helpful!

I've now succesfully managed to setup the connection via the REST connector but as my index contains more than 10000 documents, I'd like to implement pagination using the scroll API.

Any idea how to do this using the pagination rules?
