I was a newer to ElasticSearch. As far as I konw that ElasticSearch has no web UI interface. So if I want to use a web UI to search ElasticSearch, which one is fit for. I know one of web UI called ElasticSearch-Head. If all of you have any ideas about other web UI can be used for ElasticSearch. please feel free to comment your ideas and any recommendations -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, For user-facing applications people tend to develop their own. For logs people tend to use Kibana directly or via services like > **[Sematext Logs | Cloud Log Management Service | Hosted ELK](https://sematext.com/logsene)** > > Monitoring and centralized logging services to manage and analyze logs, on-prem, or in the cloud. Full visibility. For backend operations people tend to use tools like elasticsearch-head, kopf, and such. ## Otis Performance Monitoring \* Log Analytics \* Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support \* [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) On Monday, January 6, 2014 8:52:49 PM UTC-5, 沈国权 wrote: > I was a newer to Elasticsearch.

There are several plugins to elasticsearch that you can use: - [GitHub - polyfractal/elasticsearch-inquisitor: Site plugin for Elasticsearch to help understand and debug queries.](https://github.com/polyfractal/elasticsearch-inquisitor) - [http://elastichammer.exploringelasticsearch.com/](http://elastichammer.exploringelasticsearch.com/) There is also a very simple but handy Chrome plugin called Sense - [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sense/doinijnbnggojdlcjifpdckfokbbfpbo](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sense/doinijnbnggojdlcjifpdckfokbbfpbo) On Monday, January 6, 2014 5:52:49 PM UTC-8, 沈国权 wrote: > I was a newer to Elasticsearch.

It's somehow hard to build a UI on top of … something we don't know… 🙂 Are you indexing logs, office documents, custom goods declaration, chess games, hotel room reservation? As you can see, it's hard to know how to represent YOUR data. It's somehow the same question you could ask when using a SQL database. There are some generic tools. Of course, my favorite is Kibana! 🙂 If you want to build your own UI for local disk documents for example, you could fork [http://www.scrutmydocs.org/](http://www.scrutmydocs.org/) and see what we have done here although it has not been updated for a while.
