Authentication

The escli tool relies on credentials supplied through environment variables. The following list of variable are accepted:

• ES_USER - the Elasticsearch user name (default = elastic)
• ES_PASSWORD - the Elasticsearch password (no default)

If no password is available, escli assumes no HTTP auth is intended, and connects without.

Search

A search can be performed using the escli search command.

Version

The version of escli can be shown using the escli version command.
