Plugin made by Edouard Lamoine
This plugin allow you to check the Elasticsearch cluster health by connecting to it's status page.
Copy the plugin in the nagios plugins directory
USAGE: ./check_elasticsearch_health HOST_ADDRESS
ex: ./check_elasticsearch_health localhost
Return OK if returned a green status, CRITICAL if not green, UNKNOWN if returned anything
-Note: This plugin won't work if curl is not installed.
-And of course be sure Nagios user is allowed to access the plugin (use chmod to make it readable by Nagios user)
Let me know if you experience any problem with it.

The elasticsearch cat API (since at least v2.x) supports asking for simple status -- this will return just green / yellow / red: http://localhost:9200/_cat/health?h=st'

We also use Shield, and are using this now:

Thanks for sharing ! Definitively a good solution for password-protected servers

I can't get this to work! This is how I'm trying:
#./check_elasticsearch_health localhost
CRITICAL - Status is 401
[root@logs:~] #
I think it's because I have shield in place:
#curl -uadmin:$ES_PASS localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty
{
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"status" : "green",
"timed_out" : false,
"number_of_nodes" : 3,
"number_of_data_nodes" : 3,
"active_primary_shards" : 14,
"active_shards" : 28,
"relocating_shards" : 0,
"initializing_shards" : 0,
"unassigned_shards" : 0,
"delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0,
"number_of_pending_tasks" : 0,
"number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0,
"task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0,
"active_shards_percent_as_number" : 100.0
}
If I remove shield (temporarily) I can get a status:
#./check_elasticsearch_health localhost
CRITICAL - Status is yellow
Does the script work with shield? What are the flags I can pass to it?

Owner's reply
Your shield is blocking the script from accessing Elasticsearch status page
Try running plugin as root, or add exception in your shield conf.
The script don't take any flags, do you consider yellow state as acceptable state (OK status for Nagios) ?
