# Elasticsearch Recon Ingestion Scripts (ERIS) > A utility for ingesting various large scale reconnaissance data logs into Elasticsearch ### Work In Progress ## Prerequisites - [python](https://www.python.org/) - [elasticsearch](https://pypi.org/project/elasticsearch/) *(`pip install elasticsearch`)* ## Usage ```shell python ingest_XXXX.py [options] ``` **Note:** The `` can be a file or a directory of files, depending on the ingestion script. ### ###### General arguments | Argument | Description | |-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | `input_path` | Path to the input file or directory | | `--dry-run` | Dry run *(do not index records to Elasticsearch)* | | `--watch` | Watch the input file for new lines and index them in real time | ###### Elasticsearch arguments | Argument | Description | Default | |-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | `--host` | Elasticsearch host *(Will sniff for other nodes in the cluster)* | `localhost` | | `--port` | Elasticsearch port | `9200` | | `--user` | Elasticsearch username | `elastic` | | `--password` | Elasticsearch password *(if not provided, check environment variable `ES_PASSWORD`)* | | | `--api-key` | Elasticsearch API Key for authentication | | | `--self-signed` | Elastic search instance is using a self-signed certificate | `true` | | `--index` | Elasticsearch index name | `masscan-logs`| | `--shards` | Number of shards for the index | `1` | | `--replicas` | Number of replicas for the index | `1` | ###### Performance arguments | Argument | Description | Default | |-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | `--batch-max` | Maximum size in MB of a batch | `10` | | `--batch-size` | Number of records to index in a batch | `5000` | | `--batch-threads` | Number of threads to use when indexing in batches | `2` | | `--retries` | Number of times to retry indexing a batch before failing | `10` | | `--timeout` | Number of seconds to wait before retrying a batch | `30` | **NOTE:** Using `--batch-threads` as 4 and `--batch-size` as 10000 with 3 nodes would process 120,000 records before indexing 40,000 per node. ___ ###### Mirrors for this repository: [acid.vegas](https://git.acid.vegas/eris) • [SuperNETs](https://git.supernets.org/acidvegas/eris) • [GitHub](https://github.com/acidvegas/eris) • [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/acidvegas/eris) • [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/acidvegas/eris)
