 - [ES API docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-indices-get)
 
 - Fix index names custom completion
-- add cluster default <name> which would add a flag to the config, so that no -C is needed subsequently
+  https://github.com/urfave/cli/issues/2332
-- add `cluster stats` from `/_cluster/stats` like mem, procs, open files, num indices, shards etc

-  or add these to `cluster status`, maybe add a `--stats` to include stats there?
