else
        ADAYAGO="$1"
fi

echo "Starting $ADAYAGO"
QUERY_STR='{"query":{"range":{"timestamp":{"gte":"'"$ADAYAGO "'00:00:00.000","lte":"'"$ADAYAGO"' 23:59:59.999"}}}}'
EXPORT_PATH=/home/sgeuser/elasticsearch
EXPORT_FILE_NAME=esbackup.$ADAYAGO.json
es-export-bulk --url http://localhost:9200 --file $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME --body "$QUERY_STR"
ls -lh $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME
gzip -9 $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME
md5sum $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME.gz > $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME.gz.hash
sha1sum $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME.gz >> $EXPORT_PATH/$EXPORT_FILE_NAME.gz.hash

Welcome to our community! 😃

There looks to be a problem with your script, not with Elasticsearch. You might be able to diagnose it by adding `set -x` to the top of your script and running it again, to see what it is doing.
