I’ve been busy doing some OpenSearch upgrades and migrations the past couple of months, and I was tired of running curl with different parameters to get the default health and other OpenSearch statuses. Apart from that my muscle memory failed to get the right variety of parameters once in a while so I figured I just write a wrapper around curl that would do a bunch of these things easier for me.
I also figured that this kind of tool would also be the perfect starting point for me to get some experience with LLM assisted development, Im not a golang developer, but Im perfectly capable to take up the role of a Product Owner for such a tool.
One thing lead to another and I ended up expanding the tool much further than just your default health, cluster and index status.
Its now capable of helping you with upgrades and doing some other basic maintenance work.
In this age of over LLM consumption I`m still struggling with how much compute power we use for this kind of experiments, so rather than having everybody regenerate a similar tool, you can also play with mine ..
