+# Introduction
+
+This directory contains an example `elasticsearch_adapter.lua` on how to
+use [Lua Scripting](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/radosgw/lua-scripting/)
+to push fields of the RGW requests
+to [Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/).
+
+## Elasticsearch
+
+Install and run Elasticsearch using docker:
+```bash
+docker network create elastic
+docker pull elasticsearch:2.4.6
+docker run --net elastic -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" elasticsearch:2.4.6
+```
+
+[Full documentation for Elasticsearch installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html)
+
+## Usage
+
+* Upload the script:
+
+```bash
+radosgw-admin script put --infile=elasticsearch_adapter.lua --context=postRequest
+```
+
+* Add the packages used in the script:
+
+```bash
+radosgw-admin script-package add --package='elasticsearch 1.0.0-1' --allow-compilation
+radosgw-admin script-package add --package='lunajson' --allow-compilation
+radosgw-admin script-package add --package='lua-cjson 2.1.0-1' --allow-compilation
+```
+
+* Restart radosgw.
+
+* Send a request:
+```bash
+s3cmd --host=localhost:8000 --host-bucket="localhost:8000/%(bucket)" --access_key=0555b35654ad1656d804 --secret_key=h7GhxuBLTrlhVUyxSPUKUV8r/2EI4ngqJxD7iBdBYLhwluN30JaT3Q== mb s3://mybucket

+curl http://localhost:8000/mybucket/hosts
+```
+
+* Search by bucket id from Elasticsearch:
+```bash
+curl -X GET "localhost:9200/rgw/_search?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' 
+{ 
+  "query": { 
+    "match": { 
+      "Bucket.Id": "05382336-b2db-409f-82dc-f28ab5fef978.4471.4471"

+# Introduction
+
+This directory contains an example `prometheus_adapter.lua` on how to
+use [Lua Scripting](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/radosgw/lua-scripting/)
+to push metrics from the RGW requests to [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/), 
+specifically to collect information on object sizes.
+
+## Prometheus
+
+As every single run of a lua script is short-lived,
+so [Pushgateway](https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway)
+should be used as an intermediate service to enable Prometheus to scrape data
+from RGW.
+
+* Install and run Pushgateway using docker:
+
+```bash
+docker pull prom/pushgateway
+docker run -p 9091:9091 -it prom/pushgateway
+```
+
+* Install and run Prometheus using docker:
+
+```bash
+docker pull prom/prometheus
+docker run --network host -v ${CEPH_DIR}/examples/lua/config/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml prom/prometheus
+```
+
+[Full documentation for Prometheus installation](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/installation/)
+

+
+* Upload the script:
+
+```bash
+radosgw-admin script put --infile=prometheus_adapter.lua --context=postRequest
+```
+
