Microsoft PowerShell

You can use the Elasticsearch ODBC driver to access Elasticsearch data from Microsoft PowerShell.

Elastic does not endorse, promote or provide support for this application; for native Elasticsearch integration in this product, please reach out to its vendor.

Prerequisites

• Microsoft PowerShell
• Elasticsearch SQL ODBC driver
• A preconfigured User or System DSN (see Configuration section on how to configure a DSN).

Writing a script

While putting the following instructions into a script file is not an absolute requirement, doing so will make it easier to extend and reuse. The following instructions exemplify how to execute a simple SELECT query from an existing index in your Elasticsearch instance, using a DSN configured in advance. Open a new file, select.ps1, and place the following instructions in it:

$connectstring = "DSN=Local Elasticsearch;"
$sql = "SELECT * FROM library"
$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection($connectstring)
$conn.open()
$cmd = New-Object system.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($sql,$conn)
$da = New-Object system.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($cmd)
$dt = New-Object system.Data.datatable
$null = $da.fill($dt)
$conn.close()
$dt

Now open a PowerShell shell and simply execute the script:
