You have more ways to bake this cake: Bring your own Enterprise Search connector
Blog post from Elastic
The Elastic Enterprise Search team has introduced a new project called the Elastic Enterprise Search Connectors framework, which allows users to create or customize connectors to ingest data from third-party services into Workplace Search. Initially appearing as a Technical Preview in version 8.2 and expanded in version 8.3, the framework provides boilerplate code and connector packages to streamline development, enabling users to harness the power of Elasticsearch for comprehensive document search across various sources. While Workplace Search offers a catalog of connectors for popular services, the framework addresses gaps by allowing custom connector development, exemplified by a GitLab connector tutorial. This framework simplifies the development process by utilizing Enterprise Search’s synchronization model for managing data ingestion, updates, and deletions. Users can engage with the open-source project to influence its evolution, with the potential for wider adoption as the framework progresses toward general availability.
