    --nopaste-service   Comma-separated App::Nopaste service, defaults to Shadowcat

DESCRIPTION

This script collects interesting monitoring data from the ElasticSearch cluster and maps that data directly into Graphite. If ElasticSearch changes the names of data, those changes will be reflected in the metric path immediately.

OPTIONS

help

Print this message and exit

manual

Print this message and exit

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

ignore

A comma separated list of keys to ignore when parsing the tree. This is in addition to the default ignore list: attributes,id,timestamp,upms,_all,_shards

Examples:

    es-graphite-dynamic.pl --with-indices --ignore primaries,get,warmer
prefix

A metric path to prefix the collected stats with. This is useful for using es-graphite-dynamic.pl with another collector such as Diamond which expects metrics in a certain format. To use with diamond's userscripts or files collector you could:

    #!/bin/sh
    # userscripts

    es-graphite-dynamic.pl --local --prefix elasticsearch

Or with the file collector, you could cron this:

    es-graphite-dynamic.pl --local --prefix elasticsearch --data-file /tmp/diamond/elasticsearch.out --quiet

If not specified, the assumption is data will be going directly to graphite and the metric path will be set as:

    'general.es.$HOSTNAME'
no-prefix

Don't set the prefix to the metric names.
