I am using ELK 6.0 version on windows 8 machine. Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana are all running only one windows 8 instance.

First of all, do I need to install Elasticsearch-Head plugin? I read that it gives the comprehensive report about the ELK cluster.

I guess we can't install from Elasticsearch 5.0 version onwards according to the following link:

But I can't find http.cors.enabled : true in elasticsearch.yml file.
