+# Log Generator
+
+Simple generator used to push events into ES. Uses the JS client, and serves as a "simple" type test to make sure it's sort of efficient.
+
+Uses the Bulk API to communicate push docs into `logstash-YYYY.MM.DD` style indices which are easyily consumed by Kibana.
+
+Documents look like this:
+
+```

+  "_id": "42",
