Reply To: Amazon Elasticsearch Service data ingestion

Hi Claude,

Thank you for posting your question. You have a valid point that you can’t directly send the stream data from Kinesis Data Stream. You have to use a Lambda function as an event handler, that will send the data to your ES Cluster, as shown here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-aws-integrations.html#es-aws-integrations-kinesis

https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-elasticsearch-lambda-samples

To avoid any ambiguity in the answers, we will update the correct answer to accentuate the need for an additional Lambda function (that serves as an event handler) for the Kinesis Data Streams.
