nginx_es_bulk_stub.conf

# Nginx configuration for stubbing _bulk requests and proxying everything 
# else to a local Elasticsearch instance.
#
# This can be used to test performance of network and the load generator
# for pure bulk indexing benchmarks.
#
# This configuration has been tested with Rally (https://github.com/elastic/rally).

# nginx-extras for the more-include headers module
#   sudo apt-get install nginx nginx-extras
