Is there a way to persist the ES endpoint of BigDesk? I'm using nginx to forward port 9000 to a sub-path, eg. [http://ip-number/elasticsearch/](http://ip-number/elasticsearch/) instead of [http://ip-number:9200](http://ip-number:9200) and when I Disconnect and Connect after a node restart, what's in the ES endpoint textbox is [http://ip-number](http://ip-number) (no port number).

Hi, In this case I usually instruct Bigdesk about node endpoint URL via 'endpoint' URL patameter. It is documented on web or github. So you will end up using URL like the following example: > **[Big Desk](https://www.bigdesk.org)** > > Stress-free motoring You can bookmark this URL and it will autoconnect the bigdesk plugin to endpoint at specified location. It is recommend to URL encode the endpoint parameter value. HTH, If you are missing features, feel free to open ticket (it is good time for that right now).

It is documented on web or github. Indeed it is... [GitHub - lukas-vlcek/bigdesk: Live charts and statistics for Elasticsearch cluster.](https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk/#url-parameters) ("Ooh... there's documentation...?" 🙂 ) (To quote a friend of mine: Real men don't read documentation... and neither does women... they just tidy the documentation away, so that the men can't find it when they get desperate...) > So you will end up using URL like the following example: > [http://bigdesk.org/v/2.2.0/index.html?endpoint=http://complete\_path\_to\_your\_endpoint&connect=true](http://bigdesk.org/v/2.2.0/index.html?endpoint=http://complete_path_to_your_endpoint&connect=true) Yup, that worked fine; [http://ip-number/elasticsearch/\_plugin/bigdesk/?endpoint=http://ip-number/elasticsearch/](http://ip-number/elasticsearch/_plugin/bigdesk/?endpoint=http://ip-number/elasticsearch/) Thanks! > You can bookmark this URL and it will autoconnect the bigdesk plugin to > endpoint at specified location. Yes, or just leave a tab open on the URL (which is what I've been doing), and not have to retype the ES REST endpoint when I restart ES. > It is recommend to URL encode the endpoint parameter value. > If you are missing features, feel free to open ticket (it is good time for > that right now). Ok, here is an enhancement request: [BigDesk run as an ES plugin should pick up ES REST endpoint from its own URL · Issue #45 · lukas-vlcek/bigdesk · GitHub](https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk/issues/45) Thanks! - Steinar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
