Why teams connect Elasticsearch and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into Elasticsearch so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Elasticsearch.

Stacksync mirrors Incidents, Service Requests, Problems, Changes from Sysaid into Ingest pipelines, Index templates, Indices, Documents in Elasticsearch and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 02 Sync Users, Groups, and Companies from an HRIS or identity provider so requester and agent records, departments, and managers stay current in SysAid.
  • 03 Mirror support tickets into an index used for full-text search and agent-assist tooling.
  • 04 Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.

Common sync patterns

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Sysaid with a query

Records from Sysaid are ordinary rows in Elasticsearch; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Elasticsearch and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and Sysaid

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Elasticsearch objects Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Data streams Append-only targets for time-series or event data pushed from source systems. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Data streams is specific to Elasticsearch and Assets to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Ingest pipelines is specific to Elasticsearch and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Index templates is specific to Elasticsearch and Companies to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Indices is specific to Elasticsearch and Custom Fields to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Documents is specific to Elasticsearch and Incidents to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Index mappings is specific to Elasticsearch and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Elasticsearch and Sysaid

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Elasticsearch Sysaid Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Elasticsearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or sequence fields.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid Elasticsearch Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Elasticsearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Elasticsearch: No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Elasticsearch and Sysaid connectors work

REST API (JSON over HTTP)
Authentication
API keys or basic authentication; Elastic Cloud also issues service account tokens
Change detection

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
