Hi ES fans,  
quick plug: OpenTSDB now has a collector for elasticsearch. The  
collector currently scrapes 38 metrics every 15 seconds from  
elasticsearch, and stores them in OpenTSDB, a distributed monitoring  
system built on top of HBase. This allows you to build real-time  
dashboards to watch how your ES cluster is doing, as well as retain  
very granular data for long term trending and capacity planning.

Here's a partial screenshot of a dashboard we have at StumbleUpon, for  
one of our elasticsearch clusters:

OpenTSDB is free software and available at [http://opentsdb.net](http://opentsdb.net)
