We needed to wrap Express.js around bigdesk to run it on localhost. Install node.js and npm run to start the app on port 4444!

npm start

Live charts and statistics for Elasticsearch 2.x /5.x cluster.

• How to use for ES5.x

  site plugins are not supported. Run bigdesk standalone

  modify elasticsearch.yml,enable CORS

  http.cors.enabled: true

  http.cors.allow-origin: "*"

  Check Elasticsearch documentation on this parameter: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-http.html#modules-http

  then open index.html in browser

  or run on another web server

• Modify and relayout some metrics and charts

• Support for Elasticsearch 2.x

navigate to <ES_HOME> and execute the following command on command line

Online Install Elasticsearch master

$ ./bin/plugin install hlstudio/bigdesk

Online Install a special/previous version eg: v2.2.a

$ ./bin/plugin install hlstudio/bigdesk/v2.2.a

Offline Install, download release zip file or master zip file, copy to a directory eg:/tmp

$ ./bin/plugin install file:/tmp/bigdesk-master.zip

Open your web browser to access http://127.0.0.1:9200/_plugin/bigdesk by default.

Now you should see cluster name and list of its nodes. You can switch between nodes in the cluster, new nodes are added and old nodes are removed automatically on the fly.

You can change the Bigdesk refresh interval and amount of data that is displayed by charts.

Bigdesk should work in all modern web browsers as long as they support SVG. It has been tested in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
