I am trying to write a short command line re-index tool that lets you easily add all the options for re-indexing. I want to be able to query elastic or kibana or monitoring to tell the user how many documents per second are being re-indexed. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this? I have tried just scraping the html off the monitoring page but that fails. I also have tried just calculating it by hand but my calculation is not the same as the monitoring output.
