**Hi All ,**

**I have an working Elastic-search ( 5.6.4 ) . Lots of data indexed with logstash( Default indexes) and it is working well . All data is available in kibana also . But I want to create a new index through any browser ( IE , Chrome or Mozilla ). My Elastic-search is secured with username=abcdefgh and password=1234567.**

**What is the command for create index through browser , when elastic search is secured with a username and password ?**

Don't use **bold** when not necessary.

Not sure I understand. From the URL bar of the browser, you can't do it.  
But if you have Kibana running, just go to the DEV Console and type:

```auto
PUT myindex

```

Or from the command line run:

```auto
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/myindex -u abcdefgh

```

You should be good.
