contact me via github or on twitter @mobz
Gettings Started
git clone git://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head.git
Open index.html in a browser. A modern browser is required to use es-head
By default es-head will immediately attempt to connect to a cluster node at http://localhost:9200/.
Enter a different node address in the connect box and click 'Connect' if required.
General Utility
es-head has a three major operations.
A ClusterOverview, which shows the topology of your cluster and allows you to perform index and node level operations
A couple of search interfaces that allow you to query the cluster a retrieve results in raw json or tabular format
Several quick access tabs that show the status of the cluster
An input section that allows arbitrary call to the RESTful API to be made. This interface includes several options that can be combined to produce interesting results;
Select request method (get, put, post, delete), json query data, node, and path
JSON validator
Ability to repeat requests on a timer
Ability to transform the result using javascript expressions
Ability to collect results over time (using timer), or compare results
Ability to chart the transformed results in a simple bar graph (including time series)
* caution *, you can destroy and corrupt data from this interface if you are not careful
es-head will attempt to remember the node that it connects to using html5 features, however this only works over http(s).
If you would like to create a link to a particular cluster use the url form .../elasticsearch-head/index.html?base_uri=http://cluster.example.com:9200/
