DESCRIPTION

This script extract monitoring data from ElasticSearch and those statistics to a Graphite end point. It also support cacti, though support for cacti will likely be deprecated.

This script is called "static" as the author will attempt to handle statistics that are renamed by ElasticSearch.com so what all versions of ElasticSearch will produce the same output.

OPTIONS

help

Print this message and exit

manual

Print this message and exit

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
