The previous plugin allows monitoring all cluster/node statistics; ElasticSearch-head by Ben Birch mainly focuses on data management in your cluster.

It allows iterating with your data via a nice web interface. It speeds up a lot of operations that otherwise require you to write long curl commands.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch cluster and a modern HTML5 browser.

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

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

    bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head
