esarchive 
=========

An elasticsearch archival utility with backup/restore/cleanup.

configuration
-------------

The configuration is a straightforward json file:

``json
{
"aws": {
"access_key": "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY",
"access_secret": "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_SECRET"
},
"rotate": "36 days ago",
"nodes": [
{
"name": "system1",
"http_port": 9200,
"tcp_port": 9300,
"index_path": "/data/elasticsearch/system1/nodes/0/indices"
},
{
"name": "system2",
"http_port": 9201,
"tcp_port": 9301,
"index_path": "/data/elasticsearch/system2/nodes/0/indices",
"rotate": "7 days ago"
}
]
}
`

There are three main components:

* aws
* rotate
* nodes

$3

The AWS object is just a hash of your AWS access_key and access_secret.

$3

The default rotation period for triggering an archival & cleanup.

This can be declared at the top level and also individually for a node.

__Note__: Unfortunately chrono-node only correctly handles days ago at the moment, so everything must be declared based on that.

$3

Nodes must specify the following:

* name
* http_port
* tcp_port
* index_path
* host _(optional: defaults to 127.0.0.1`)_
* rotation _(optional)_
