This little command line tool is built to help you archive old logs in Elastic Search, most likely logs Logstash put in there.
It will go and flush indices transactions then proceed to close those indices so that they don't cost you CPU or memory, all this up to a certain duration, the default is 2 weeks in the past. On top of that it has the ability to completly delete (forever) indices up to a certain duration, default is not deletion.

-delete=false: Pass flag to execute deletion
-delete-age=720h0m0s: Delete only indices old X time (Default is 30 days written 720h
-es-host="": Elastic Search host to delete indices from (required)
