This is a simple Icinga/Nagios/… plugin for checking an Elasticsearch cluster written in Go using fractalcat/nagiosplugin.
It serves three purposes:
-
To gain experience with go
-
To gain experience with Elasticsearch
-
To monitor Elastiscsearch hopefully more efficient than a Python test
While it serves the first and second purpose and it does indeed a basic monitoring there are more sophisticated plugins avaiable.
