daikon 1.51

ElasticSearch CLI

Description

Daikon is a CLI for ElasticSearch to make some of the basic admin tasks associated with ElasticSearch a little easier than using curl… you know for us lazy folks.

It’s written in Python, and requires python 2.7.x, anyjson, and Python-Requests.

Why ‘daikon’. Well, ‘daikon’ is a radish that is used in the making of kimchi. For those who know ES, you’ll know what that means ;) and of course HUGE shout out to @kimchy

Installing

This should work :

$ pip install daikon

And even this should too, but you shouldn’t use it… :

$ easy_install daikon

Configuration

Configuration is defined in /etc/daikon/daikon.conf, or ~/.daikon.conf, and has the format :

[default]
host = localhost
port = 9200
replicas = 3
shards = 2

Planned Functionality

Future Planned Functionality :

* Working with Rivers (and provide plugin supports for rivers)

* Working with cluster maintennace
* Working with searches, exporting results
* Enhance Logging (Syslog, Debug Logging, Log File)
