 There are two ways of invoking ElastAlert. As a daemon, through Supervisor (http://supervisord.org/), or directly with Python. For easier debugging purposes in this tutorial, we will invoke it directly::
 
-    $ python -m elastalert.elastalert --verbose --rule example_frequency.yaml
+    $ python -m elastalert.elastalert --verbose --rule example_frequency.yaml  # or use the entry point: elastalert --verbose --rule ...
     No handlers could be found for logger "elasticsearch"
