From App::ElasticSearch::Utilities:

    --local         Use localhost as the elasticsearch host
    --host          ElasticSearch host to connect to
    --port          HTTP port for your cluster
    --proto         Defaults to 'http', can also be 'https'
    --http-username HTTP Basic Auth username
    --http-password HTTP Basic Auth password (if not specified, and --http-user is, you will be prompted)
    --password-exec Script to run to get the users password
    --noop          Any operations other than GET are disabled, can be negated with --no-noop
    --timeout       Timeout to ElasticSearch, default 30
    --keep-proxy    Do not remove any proxy settings from %ENV
    --index         Index to run commands against
    --base          For daily indexes, reference only those starting with "logstash"
                     (same as --pattern logstash-* or logstash-DATE)
    --datesep       Date separator, default '.' also (--date-separator)
    --pattern       Use a pattern to operate on the indexes
    --days          If using a pattern or base, how many days back to go, default: all

From CLI::Helpers:

    --data-file         Path to a file to write lines tagged with 'data => 1'
    --color             Boolean, enable/disable color, default use git settings
    --verbose           Incremental, increase verbosity (Alias is -v)
    --debug             Show developer output
    --debug-class       Show debug messages originating from a specific package, default: main
    --quiet             Show no output (for cron)
    --syslog            Generate messages to syslog as well
    --syslog-facility   Default "local0"
    --syslog-tag        The program name, default is the script name
    --syslog-debug      Enable debug messages to syslog if in use, default false

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

with-indices

Also grab data at the individual index level, will not append hostnames as this is useless. It will map the data into "$CARBON_BASE.cluster.$CLUSTERNAME.$INDEX..."

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 --loocal --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.
