Today I found a super easy-to-use elasticsearch plug-in. It can be used directly on the browser and does not require the deployment of related services. I used head before and cerebro later.
Cerebro is also good to use. It is quite convenient to use when managing many es clusters before. But recently, I am working on a new version, and I have directly turned on the certification, and found that there are some problems with the cerebro certification every time.
Today I finally found a good plug-in that can be used to manage es clusters. The deployment of this kind of plug-in is very simple. It is a browser extension plug-in. The name of this plug-in is elasticvue .

Preparation
Plug-in acquisition, this plug-in currently supports edge and chrome. If you have any questions about the plug-in, you can directly reply to the es plug-in in the background and provide the relevant download link.
It is a crx file, just drag it into the extension plug-in and use it
If it is an old version without authentication, you can directly enter the link of es to access it directly.
If it is before version 8.0 and authentication is enabled, you can also enter the account password to access
If it is version 8.0, you also need to configure the ssl certificate. The place where the certificate is configured is also noted in the official document:
It took me a while to configure this certificate. For details, please refer to the following:
According to the picture example, just import the certificate. The specific certificate is on the server, just download it according to your installation directory.
After the certificate is imported, the test link is normal. In some cases, an error will be reported. You can try to access your es address directly with the browser, try to log in, and then refresh it.
