elastic-check

A small utility script used to monitor elastic nodes through the /_tasks/ endpoint.

It uses exit codes to express the result of the "check":

• Exit code 0: check completed successfully.
• Exit code 1: check failed (error).
• Exit code 3: network error (could not connect).
• Exit code 4: node not found.
• Exit code 126: invalid arguments.

NOTE: works with Python 3 only

Install

pip3 install elastic-check

How to use?

elastic-check <check> <host> <node_name>

Where check can be:

• num-of-tasks: checks the number of tasks in the node and compares to threshold.
• longest-running-time: checks the longest running task and compares to threshold.
