Hello, I'm running an instance of elastic search and I was wondering how can I start doing real-time search analytics or any search analytics to see what users are searching? Is there a non command-line interface that I can use to view and display this data? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

No. Only slow queries could be logged by now. You have to manage that on client side. Let's say collect request and index it in your own ES index.

Yeah! You can build analytics with Elasticsearch based on what YOU have indexed. I.e. index tweets and build analytics on tweets. Index logs and build analytics on logs… We don't index queries sent by users. So if you need to build analytics on queries, YOU have to index queries first.
