### Requirements

- ECS repository clone. The script is meant to be launched from the root level of that repository.
- Python 3.6 or higher
- jq
- `Python` 3.6 or higher + `venv` module
- `jq`

### Folder structrue
### Folder structure

There is a folder for each module. Inside each folder, there is a `fields` folder with the required
files to generate the mappings. These are the inputs for the ECS generator.

### Usage

**Copy the `generate.sh` script to the root level of the ECS repository.**
1. Get a copy of the ECS repository at the same level as the `wazuh-indexer` repo:

Use the `generate.sh` script to generate the mappings for a module. The script takes 3 arguments,
plus 2 optional arguments to upload the mappings to the Wazuh indexer (using **composable** indexes).
```console
git clone [email protected]:elastic/ecs.git
```

```plaintext
Usage: ./generate.sh <ECS_VERSION> <INDEXER_SRC> <MODULE> [--upload <URL>]
* ECS_VERSION: ECS version to generate mappings for
* INDEXER_SRC: Path to the wazuh-indexer repository
* MODULE: Module to generate mappings for
* --upload <URL>: Upload generated index template to the OpenSearch cluster. Defaults to https://localhost:9200
Example: ./generate.sh v8.10.0 ~/wazuh-indexer vulnerability-detector --upload https://indexer:9200
```
2. Install the dependencies:

For example, to generate the mappings for the `vulnerability-detector` module using the
ECS version `v8.10.0` and the Wazuh indexer in path `~/wazuh/wazuh-indexer`:
```console
cd ecs
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
```

```bash
./generate.sh v8.10.0 ~/wazuh/wazuh-indexer vulnerability-detector
```
2. Copy the `generate.sh` script to the root level of the ECS repository.

```console
cp generate.sh ../../ecs
cd ../../ecs
bash generate.sh
```

Expected output:
```
Usage: generate.sh <ECS_VERSION> <INDEXER_SRC> <MODULE> [--upload <URL>]
* ECS_VERSION: ECS version to generate mappings for
* INDEXER_SRC: Path to the wazuh-indexer repository
* MODULE: Module to generate mappings for
* --upload <URL>: Upload generated index template to the OpenSearch cluster. Defaults to https://localhost:9200
Example: generate.sh v8.10.0 ~/wazuh-indexer vulnerability-detector --upload https://indexer:9200
```

3. Use the `generate.sh` script to generate the mappings for a module. The script takes 3 arguments,
plus 2 optional arguments to upload the mappings to the `wazuh-indexer`. Both, composable and legacy mappings
are generated. For example, to generate the mappings for the `vulnerability-detector` module using the
ECS version `v8.10.0` and assuming that path of this repository is `~/wazuh/wazuh-indexer`:

```bash
./generate.sh v8.10.0 ~/wazuh/wazuh-indexer vulnerability-detector
```

The tool will output the folder where they have been generated.

```console
Loading schemas from git ref v8.10.0
Running generator. ECS version 8.10.0
Replacing "match_only_text" type with "text"
Mappings saved to ~/wazuh/wazuh-indexer/ecs/vulnerability-detector/mappings/v8.10.0
```

4. When you are done. Exit the virtual environment.

```console
deactivate
```

The original output is `template.json`, which is not compatible with OpenSearch by default. In order
to make this template compatible with OpenSearch, the following changes are made:

- the `order` property is renamed to `priority`.
- the `mappings` and `settings` properties are nested under the `template` property.

The script takes care of these changes automatically, generating the `opensearch-template.json` file as a result.
