ES Manager

Look for, and optionally remove, unnecessary Elastic Search indexes (or indices if you prefer).

Unnecessary indexes include:

• Empty indexes
• Future indexes (default, based on a pattern of *-YYYY-MM-dd. i.e. "kpi-2018-10-11")
• Old indexes (indexes older than the given date)

Technology Stack

* Go
* Elastic Search

Build

$ go build

Usage

$ es-manager -v [6|2] -url=<http://192.168.2.10:9200> -ip=<ind1,ind2> [-lt=YYYY-MM-dd|n] [-d]

    -v      Version of ES at target URL (currently only 6 or 2 are supported)

    -ip     Comma eparated list of index name prefixes (e.g. -ip=kpi-,data-)

    -lt     Look for indexes before this cut-off date (not inclusive), or n number of days prior to today.
