elasticsearch-tail.py

rework of the earlier work by juan-domenech - thanks!! :)

only tested against:

• opensearch 2.6.x

( see the elasticsearch branch for older ES support )

Security !!1

all of the TLS verification checks have been removed

Setup

python 3

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Config

copy the example-config.py to config.py and edit it

set the user and pass to '' if you don't need auth

• myindex set this to eg logstash-foo and it will find the latest index based on that pattern

• sleep sets the number of seconds between es requests

• buffer is the delay between printing each line

• result_size is how many docs we pull back per request

you may need to tweak these depending on how many docs you're expecting / how loaded ES is

• tail_color section to disable colors set 'enabled' to false

Usage

run ./elasticsearch-tail.py
