I wonder if there is any way to monitor how much data are we pushing to a specific index.  
i can see some information on the monitoring section but i dont think i can pull off the information i am looking for from there.

any help is appreciated.

Thanks  
Daniel

If Monitoring isn't showing what you want, what exactly do you want?

i would like to know how much data gets in a specific index by day or month.  
i dont seem to find a way to query the monitoring.

We don't store that, just the index size.

You would need to install the [mapper size plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-size.html) to get an accurate sizing. Or you can just take the index date range and then divide the size by that.

I looked into the index like this:

GET /ct\_\*/\_stats but i dont see the range.
