# 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:

```
{
  "_index": "logstash-2013.10.20",
  "_type": "apache",
  "_id": "42",
  "_score": 1,
  "_source": {
