Working with Kopf

Kopf is a web-based cluster management tool like Elasticsearch-head, but has a more modern look and a few different features. With Kopf, users can check the state of nodes and indices, run REST queries, and perform basic management tasks.

Elasticsearch Version

Kopf Branch

0.90.x

0.90

1.x

1.0

2.x

2.0

    $ sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf/{branch}

    $ sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install lmenezes/elasticsearch-kopf/2.0...
