Installing and using BigDesk


BigDesk is a wonderful web app developed by Lukáš Vlček, installable as an ElasticSearch plugin, which allows monitoring and analyzing real-time cluster status.

With this application, it's possible to monitor both cluster and nodes in which ElasticSearch is running.

It's a modern HTML5 application, which requires only a modern browser.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch cluster.

How to do it…

For installing BigDesk plugin, we will perform the steps given as follows:

  1. The BigDesk plugin is a site plugin, an ElasticSearch composed only by HTML, CSS, images and JavaScript. It can be installed as usual by using the following code snippet:

    bin/plugin -install lukas-vlcek/bigdesk
  2. After a node restart, if it's all right, it should compare in the site list:

    [INFO ][node] [Cassidy, Theresa] version[0.90.3], pid[37214], build[5c38d60/2013-08-06T13:18:31Z]
