elasticsearch-head is a web front end for browsing and interacting with an Elastic Search cluster.

There are multiple ways of running elasticsearch-head.

Running as a plugin of ElasticSearch (this is the preferred method)

elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head
open http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/

Running as a standalone webapp

• 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.

Running with built in server
