Elasticsearch documentation alfred workflow

An alfred workflow, that queries the Elastic documentation and allows you to open the documentation in a browser directly from Alfred.

Example

Note: You will need the Alfred Powerpack to use this workflow - which is commercial software. Check out the Alfred app website.

Note 2: This is a rewrite of my earlier elastic documentation workflow in Crystal, mainly to reduce the maintenance overhead of updating security relevant dependencies. This package does not have any production dependencies, as everything can be done with the core language.

Download

You can download the workflow from the packal alfred workflow repository, if you don't want to build it yourself.

Usage

The keyword to trigger the search in Alfred is elastic by default.

You can search across the whole documentation, or you can limit by a product by using something like elastic b beat. These are the available product abbreviations:

LetterProduct
blibbeat
mbMetricbeat
pbPacketbeat
wbWinlogbeat
fbFilebeat
jbJournalbeat
fbFunctionbeat
eElasticsearch
esElasticsearch
lLogstash
lsLogstash
kKibana
cCloud
eceElastic Cloud Enterprise
iInfrastructure
csClients
swApp Search/Site Search
aAPM
apmAPM

In addition when specifying a product, you can also specify a version like elastic w 2.3 execute watch

Packaging

You need the zip binary installed. Run make package and you will end up with a elastic.alfredworkflow that you can open (doubleclick or call open on the command line) and import. Again, if you just want to use this workflow, download it from the packal repository linked above.

Development

In order to run your tests, execute crystal spec.
