This program was created to backup the configuration options that are not backed up in an elasticsearch snapshot.

The files are saved in multiple json files, which allow individual configuration items to be restored. The files are also written in a diff friendly, json format. It is possible to run this backup as a daily backup and store in a git repository.

If this script is run with an account that does not have full permissions to an elasticsearch cluster, it will still create a partial backup, backing up everything that it has access to.
