rolinh / elastic-go Goto Github PK

Is there currently any way to run a query against a specific index?

The functionality I am thinking of is like so: elastic query -i logstash-* myquery

The program's output also includes ANSI color codes to colorize output.
This is very annoying if you're piping the output to parse it with tools such as jq or similar. The workaround is to sed the output, but it is clunky and a --nocolor switch or similar would be easier and more clean.
Also, I've tried setting the TERM env var to xterm-mono or vt220, but I guess there is no terminfo checking to see if the terminal supports colors or not, which would also be a good solution.

Hi, thanks for writing this.
Thought it would save me from having to learn the ES API or write anything myself right away.

However, I haven't been able to make a successful query command in about 20 minutes of trying (even after pulling up the ES API docs and learning the query language) -- what is the expected input format? JSON? A couple query examples in the README would help.

Probably going to move onto something else or use curl at this point. Thought you'd like to know.

Docker Hub allows you to create Automated Builds from source: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/
It would add another packaging/distribution/installation method, whose buildings would be triggered automatically on each commit. It also allows to create different image tags automatically from git tags & branches.
Also, documentation could include an example docker run command which would become the canonical, no-install-needed way to run latest elastic-go.

By making the image build via an AB, you give the resulting image verifiability and auditability. Also, the build is fully automatic. You can have the latest image tag build from HEAD and individual image tags from git's release tags. Some people avoid non-verifiable (manually uploaded) images due to security & traceability reasons.

After #2 is in, just a free Docker Hub account and a quick setup would do. Ping me if you need help.
