Managing ElasticSearch

[dmossie (Dan)]

Hi everyone,

I am new to ElasticSearch. I was wondering what is the best way to manage the database.
I have new data going into ElasticSearch constantly from logstash.

I need to know how much data is being saved and taken up on my server, as well as search for and delete data. ElasticSearch doen't seem to have a GUI?

How do you guys go about this? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan

Elasticsearch isn't a database, I say that because it's an important distinction. Database implies ACID compliance and a bunch of other things that don't apply to distributed systems
