# Katip Elasticsearch [](https://travis-ci.org/Soostone/katip)
katip-elasticsearch is a scribe for the Katip logging framework that
sends structured logs to ElasticSearch.
## Features
* Built in bounded buffering.
* Configurable pool of logging workers to help with high write
volume.
* Optional field type annotation to avoid mistyping values.
* Optional automatic date sharding, so logs can be filed into monthly,
weekly, daily, hourly, every minute indices. You can even specify
your own index routing logic. This pattern can be seen in the ELK
stack as a way of keeping indexes reasonably sized and easy to
optimize, rotate, and manage.
* Customizable retry policy for temporary outages and errors.
* Automatic index and mapping setup.
