Hi, I have migrated to ELK Stack 5. I have learned that site plugins are no longer supported in ELK 5. Hence, i tried to run Elasticsearch-head plugin as a standalone server by following the directions of below link.. > [Running site plugins with Elasticsearch 5.0 | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/running-site-plugins-with-elasticsearch-5-0) > [java - How to deploy elasticsearch-head or some other browser frontend monitoring tool on my remote server - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18336186/how-to-deploy-elasticsearch-head-or-some-other-browser-frontend-monitoring-tool) What i did was.. I set the following on elasticsearch.yml file. > http.cors.enabled: true > http.cors.allow-origin: "\*" Then i installed the following: > wget [https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/archive/master.zip) > unzip elastic-head-master.zip > cd elastic-head-master > open index.html To check if it's working.. i tried the following in the browser localhost:9100 localhost:9100/index.html 10.117.67.112:9100 10.117.67.112:9100 No luck on all of the above.. Then i cd into elasticsearch-head-master directory and did > python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9100 > Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 9100 ... still no luck.. Is there any steps I am missing out? Any help would be appreciated ---

Just from console go to your head directory and run 'npm install' After that just 'grunt server' Example: cd C:\elasticsearch-head npm install grunt server Chck localhost:9100 Enjoy ---
