I'm looking for a way to monitor inside of the cluster like:

- how many indices are available on my cluster,
- how many shards each index has
- and ...  
I know we can do it manually by `GET _cluster/...` commands but I'm looking for something like an exporter or so to do these commands in intervals.

Why not use the included Monitoring functionality?
