Determining the Disk Space of the SEAL indices

You can determine the required disk space of the SEAL indices in the Elasticsearch database with the following commands:

• Linux:

  curl -s -X GET "localhost:9200/seal*/_stats/store" -u elastic:elastic -H 'Content-Type: application/json' | jq '.indices | to_entries | map({(.key): .value.total.store.size_in_bytes}) | . + [{"Total": map(.[] | tonumber) | add}]' | jq -r '.[] | to_entries[] | "\(.key)\t\(.value)"' | column -t -s $'\t'
  

• Windows:

  curl.exe -s -X GET "localhost:9200/seal*/_stats/store" -u elastic:elastic -H 'Content-Type: application/json' | jq '.indices | to_entries | map({(.key): .value.total.store.size_in_bytes}) | . + [{"Total": map(.[] | tonumber) | add}]' | jq -r '.[] | to_entries[] | "\(.key)\t\(.value)"' | column -t -s $'\t'

Hints on the Options

• column:

  column is a tool that converts the jq output into a table.

• jq:

  jq is a JSON-Parser that converts the curl output into a table.

• "localhost:9200":

  Adjust the "localhost:9200" URL, if the Elasticsearch server runs on a different host or port.

• "seal*":

  "seal*" is the alias or index name. You can adjust it to your needs.

• "-u elastic:elastic":

  Depending on your security configuration, you can adjust "-u elastic:elastic" as required or leave it out.

• self-signed certificates, etc.

  In case of self-signed certificates, etc., use -k or --insecure.

• indices the names of which do not start with seal

  Several scripts create indices the names of which do not start with seal. These indices require a separate retrieval.
