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
This should work :
$ pip install daikon
And even this should too, but you shouldn't use it... :
$ easy_install daikon
Configuration is defined in /etc/daikon/daikon.conf, or ~/.daikon.conf, and has the format :
[default] host = localhost port = 9200 replicas = 3 shards = 2
Commands :
* Working with Indexes * Create Indexes examples: daikon index create <indexname> daikon index create --replicas <replicas> --shards <shards> <indexname> daikon index create --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <indexname> * Delete Indexes examples: daikon index delete <indexname> daikon index delete --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <indexname> * List Indexes examples: daikon index list <indexname> daikon index list --extended <indexname> daikon index list --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <indexname> * Open Indexes examples: daikon index open <indexname> daikon index open --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <indexname> * Close Indexes examples: daikon index close <indexname> daikon index close --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <indexname> * Status Indexes examples: daikon index status <indexname> daikon index status --extended <indexname> daikon index status --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <indexname> * Working with Clusters * Status View examples: daikon cluster status daikon cluster status --extended daikon cluster status --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> * Shutdown Clusters examples: daikon cluster shutdown daikon cluster shutdown --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> * Working with Nodes * List examples: daikon node list daikon node list --extended daikon node list --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> * Status examples: daikon node status <nodename> daikon node status --extended <nodename> daikon node status --cluster <clustername> --host <host> --port <port> <nodename> * Shutdown examples: daikon node shutdown <nodename> daikon node shutdown --delay <delayseconds> <nodename> daikon node shutdown --cluster <clustername> --port <port> <nodename>
Future Planned Functionality :
* Working with Rivers (and provide plugin supports for rivers) * Working with indexes to dump, and import * Working with cluster maintennace * Working with searches, exporting results * Enhance Logging (Syslog, Debug Logging, Log File)
