Installing and using Elasticsearch HQ

ElasticSearch HQ (http://www.elastichq.org) is a monitoring and management application, which manages both instances and clusters. It's an open source solution, and it is free for both private and commercial use. 

Getting ready

You will need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation – similar to the one that we described in the Downloading and installing Elasticsearch recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started. 

Python version 3.4, or a later version, must be installed in order to run ElasticSearch HQ.

If you are installing using Docker Compose, which is available in the ch01 directory, then you don't need to manually install it. ...
