Sense editor for ElasticSearch querying

prashanthsams Leave a comment

Note: My application support ES version 5.5.0 and so, I use kibana v 4.5.3. To use Sense editor, you don’t need any special installations for Kibana versions > 5.x, rather go to dev tools for the editor. This post is for users with Kibana versions < 5.x.

1| Download Kibana v.4.5.3

https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases

2| Go to config/kibana.yml and edit ElasticSearch url,

elasticsearch.url: "http://yourlocalhosturl:9200"

3| Now, install the kibana plugin, sense

./bin/kibana plugin --install elastic/sense


4| Run Kibana server

./bin/kibana

5| Open editor and update the server name

http://localhost:5601/app/sense

6| Open editor and update the server name
