Cannot Set Index Pattern on Elasticsearch as a Log Handler

Apache Airflow version: 2.0.0

• Kernel (e.g. uname -a): Linux airflow-webserver-fb89b7f8b-fgzvv 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 16:34:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Install tools: Helm (Custom)
• Others: None

What happened: My Airflow use fluent-bit to catch the stdout logs from airflow containers and then send the logs messages to Elasticsearch in a remote machine and it works well, I can see the logs through Kibana. But the Airflow cannot display the logs, because an error:

ERROR - Exception on /get_logs_with_metadata [GET]

elasticsearch.exceptions.AuthorizationException: AuthorizationException(403, 'security_exception', 'no permissions for [indices:data/read/search] and User [name=airflow, backend_roles=[], request

but when I debug and use this code, I can see the logs:

es = elasticsearch.Elasticsearch(['...'], **es_kwargs)
es.search(index="airflow-*", body=dsl)

and when I look into the source code of elasticsearch providers there are no definition of the index-pattern on that

https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/88199eefccb4c805f8d6527bab5bf600b397c35e/airflow/providers/elasticsearch/log/es_task_handler.py#L216

so I assume the issue is insufficient permission to scan all the indices, therefore, how can I set the index-pattern so that Airflow only reads certain indices? Thank you!

What you expected to happen: The Airflow configuration has option to add elasticsearch index pattern so that airflow only queries certain indices, not querying all indexes on the elasticsearch server

How to reproduce it: Click log button on task popup modal to see logs page

Anything else we need to know: Every time etc

Hi @jedcunningham thanks for your suggestion, I have tried it, and it works

I have started working on this here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/compare/main...kouk:support-es-index-patterns?expand=1 it’s still a WIP but any feedback would be helpful.
