es-metrics-to-graphite.pl - Check Elastic Search Performance

OPTIONS

help

Print this message and exit

manual

Print this message and exit

local

Optional, check local host (if not specified, --host required)

host

Optional, the host to check (if not specified --local required)

format

stats format:

graphite        Use format for graphite/carbon (default)
cacti           For use with Cacti

carbon-base

The prefix to use for metrics sent to carbon. The default is "general.es". Please note, the host name of the ElasticSearch node will be appended, followed by the metric name.

carbon-server

Send stats to the carbon server specified. This automatically forces --format=graphite and does not produce stats on STDOUT

carbon-port

Use this port for the carbon server, useless without --carbon-server

with-indices

Also grab data at the individual index level

verbose

Verbose stats, to not interfere with cacti, output goes to STDERR
