For full original usage instuctions please refer to https://github.com/taskrabbit/elasticsearch-dump/blob/master/README.md
This fork of the elasticdump includes the following additions:
- switched from GET to POST requests (ElasticSearch behind a proxy which doesn't accept GET with a body)
- fixed kbn-version in HTTP header to 5.5.1
- Added scripts to allow execution of the commands without building the package. Scripts copied from npm distribution of original package and adjusted to match the paths
- Added new output transport 'keyvaluefile' by cloning the 'file' transport. The intention is to keep 'file' generating JSON and have the 'keyvaluefile' generate the hybrid CSV-JSON formal.
- Added default sorting by @timestamp, if not specified explicitly in query
- Added ability to read ElasticSearch query from a json file specified in --searchBodyFile (as an alternative to --searchBody)
Please refer to the relevant confluence page for installation instructions
--searchBodyFile
Provide a json file with the the ES query
This an alternative to --searchBody oprion, the only difference is
that the query is read from specified JSON file instead of
explicit parameter in command line
--exportFromDate
Specify a date of a day in format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2017-07-15)
Based on the date the ElasticSearch indexes to export from will
be determined automatically.
This parameter requires the --input-index-pattern to be supplied.
At the same time, the --input-index parameter is ignored
The export will read from one or more indexes
WARNING! this parameter used together with --searchBody or --searchBodyFile will
attempt to merge the search queries, the one from commandline with the one for date filtering.
If the query from commandline is in format different than { "query":{ "bool": ...
it will be ignored and overwritten by the date filtering.
--input-index-pattern
Only applicable together with --exportFromDate
Specify a base name for the ElasticSearch index to scan
The wildcard '*' will be appended automatically when querying ElasticSearch
--appendOutput
For file output, if the parameter is =true, the logs will be appended to the output file
