ELASTICSEARCH_USER_NAME	Username for basic auth	No
ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD	Password for basic auth	No
GRAPHITE_PREFIX	The prefix under graphite you want your metrics in. We will add the cluster name, and the node name after that	No	Elasticsearch
GRAPHITE_PROTOCOL	Graphite protocol. Allowed values are 'pickle' or 'plaintext'	No	pickle
GRAPHITE_PORT	Graphite port	No	2004
INTERVAL_SECONDS	The frequency in which Elasticsearch is to be sampled (preferably, the same value as your graphite configured metrics interval)	No	10
BULK_SIZE	The amount of metrics to be sent in each bulk request	No	50
MAX_RETRY_BULK	The number of repeated attempts to send a bulk that failed on IOError (originated from graphite)	No	3

This docker container will take the parameter GRAPHITE_PREFIX you supplied (or the default) and add the cluster name, and node name to the path. For example:

Elasticsearch.prefix.MY_ES_CLUSTER.node1.jvm.mem.heap_used_percent

Run Examples

docker run --restart=always -d --name="es2graphite" \
                        -e ELASTICSEARCH_ADDR="es-client.internal.domain.example" \
                        -e GRAPHITE="graphite.internal.domain.example" \
                        -e ELASTICSEARCH_PROTOCOL="https" \
                        -e ELASTICSEARCH_USER_NAME="mahUser" \
                        -e ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD="mahPassword" 
                        -e GRAPHITE_PREFIX="PROD.Elasticsearch" \
                        -e INTERVAL_SECONDS=20 \
                        -e BULK_SIZE=10 \
                        logzio/es2graphite

Dashboard Example

You can take the dashboard here under Grafana Dashboard Example as a baseline of your dashboard. Use find replace to:

GRAPHITE_PREFIX - The prefix where this docker holds the metrics
COLLECTD_GRAPHITE_PREFIX - The prefix where collectd sends the metrics

Cheap and reliable Node.js hosting starts at $3/month, and $1/month static HTML hosting
