The available providers can be listed by ``elasticsearch-faker provider list`` / ``elasticsearch-faker provider example`` subcommands.

Use Elasticsearch authentication

  $ elasticsearch-faker --verify-certs generate --doc-template doc_template.jinja2 https://localhost:9200 -n 1000

:Execution: ::

  $ export ES_BASIC_AUTH_USER=elastic
  $ export ES_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>

  $ elasticsearch-faker generate --doc-template doc_template.jinja2 https://localhost:9200 -n 1000
