ElasticSearch-Head

The official introduction to ElasticSearch-Head is relatively simple, with only one sentence:

ElasticSearch-Head is a web frontend that interacts with the Elastic cluster (Cluster).

The main role of ES-Head

It shows the topology of the ES cluster, and it can be used for index (Index) and node (Node) level operations
It provides a set of query APIs for clusters and returns results in json and tabular form
It provides some shortcut menus to display various states of the cluster

Install

Online installation

For ElasticSearch, we can install online plugins directly from the command line
```
⇒  sudo elasticsearch/bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head
```
