# BenchmarkDotnet exporter
An exporter for [BenchmarkDotnet](https://github.com/dotnet/BenchmarkDotNet) that will index benchmarking results directly into Elasticsearch.

## Installation

Add a reference to the [Elastic.CommonSchema.BenchmarkDotNetExporter](http://nuget.org/packages/Elastic.CommonSchema.BenchmarkDotNetExporter) package:
```xml
<PackageReference Include="Elastic.CommonSchema.BenchmarkDotNetExporter" Version="8.6.0" />
```


## Usage

```csharp
var options = new ElasticsearchBenchmarkExporterOptions(url)
{
	GitBranch = "externally-provided-branch",
	GitCommitMessage = "externally provided git commit message",
	GitRepositoryIdentifier = "repository"
};
var exporter = new ElasticsearchBenchmarkExporter(options);

var config = CreateDefaultConfig().With(exporter);
BenchmarkRunner.Run(typeof(Md5VsSha256), config);
```

The code snippet above configures the `ElasticsearchBenchmarkExporter` with the supplied `ElasticsearchBenchmarkExporterOptions`. It is possible to configure the exporter to use [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/) as follows:
```csharp
var options = new ElasticsearchBenchmarkExporterOptions(url)
{
	CloudId = "CLOUD_ID_HERE"
};
```

Example _source from a search in Elasticsearch after a benchmark run:
