Elasticsearch offers the parameters:
require_alias - This can be useful when using the ILM Rollover index parameter in ES Output. ES would reject the indexing if the destination is NOT an alias. This can avoid creating an index which will never be rolled over.
require_data_stream - This can be useful when using the Datastream parameter in ES Output. ES would reject the indexing if the destination is NOT a data stream.
The drawbacks of using them:
- It requires a specific min version of Elasticsearch, reducing the compatibility between ES & LS
- Introducing this mid 9.x would anyway a breaking change, so if we see benefits, it would be on 10.x
