An alfred workflow, that queries the Elastic documentation and allows you to open the documentation in a browser directly from Alfred.
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.
You can download the workflow from the packal alfred workflow repository, if you don't want to build it yourself.
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:
Letter | Product |
---|---|
b |
libbeat |
mb |
Metricbeat |
pb |
Packetbeat |
wb |
Winlogbeat |
fb |
Filebeat |
jb |

In addition when specifying a product, you can also specify a version like elastic w 2.3 execute watch
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.
In order to run your tests, execute crystal spec
.
