## About



[Screenshots](https://elasticvue.com/features)



**Elasticvue** is a free and open-source gui for elasticsearch that you can use to manage the data in your cluster.

It has full support for elasticsearch versions `8.x` and `7.x`. Check

the [FAQ](https://github.com/cars10/elasticvue/wiki/FAQ) for more details.



### Features



* Cluster overview

* Index & alias management

* Shard management

* Searching and editing documents

* Rest queries

* Snapshot & repository management



## Usage



You can use elasticvue in several ways:



### Desktop App - *recommended*



* [Windows .msi](https://update.elasticvue.com/download/windows/x86_64)

* [Mac x68 .dmg](https://update.elasticvue.com/download/darwin/x86_64) / [Mac aarch64 .dmg](https://update.elasticvue.com/download/darwin/aarch64)

* [Linux .AppImage](https://update.elasticvue.com/download/linux/x86_64)



### Browser extension



* [Google chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/elasticvue/hkedbapjpblbodpgbajblpnlpenaebaa)

* [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/elasticvue/)

* [Microsoft edge](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/geifniocjfnfilcbeloeidajlfmhdlgo)



### Docker



> **You have to configure your elasticsearch cluster if you want to use elasticvue via docker**



Use the [existing image](https://hub.docker.com/r/cars10/elasticvue):



```bash

docker run -p 8080:8080 --name elasticvue -d cars10/elasticvue

```



When using docker you can provide some default cluster configuration for your users. You can either set an environment

variable or provide a config file as a volume. In either case the content should be a json array of your

clusters, looking like this:



```json

[

  {

    "name": "dev cluster",

    "uri": "http://localhost:9200"

  },

  {

    "name": "prod cluster",

    "uri": "http://localhost:9501",

    "username": "elastic",

    "password": "foobar"

  }

]

```



The keys `name` and `uri` are required, `username` and `password` are optional. If you want to connect with an api key

simply use that as the password and omit the username.



#### Docker with default clusters in environment variable



Example using environment variable `ELASTICVUE_CLUSTERS`:



```bash

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e ELASTICVUE_CLUSTERS='[{"name": "prod cluster", "uri": "http://localhost:9200", "username": "elastic", "password": "elastic"}]' cars10/elasticvue

```



#### Docker with default clusters in config file via volume



Example using config file volume to `/usr/share/nginx/html/api/default_clusters.json`:



```bash

echo '[{"name": "prod cluster", "uri": "http://localhost:9200", "username": "elastic", "password": "elastic"}]' > /config.json

docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /config.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/api/default_clusters.json cars10/elasticvue

```



Your users will be prompted to optionally import these clusters.



### Web version



> **You have to configure your elasticsearch cluster if you want to use elasticvue via docker**



Visit [https://app.elasticvue.com](https://app.elasticvue.com).



### Self-hosted



> **You have to configure your elasticsearch cluster if you want to use elasticvue via docker**



Please check the [wiki](https://github.com/cars10/elasticvue/wiki/Building-Elasticvue) for more information.



## Elasticsearch configuration



You have to [enable CORS](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html) to allow

connection to your elasticsearch cluster **if you do not use the desktop app or the browser extensions**.



Find your elasticsearch configuration (for example `/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml`) and add the following lines:



```yaml

# enable CORS

http.cors.enabled: true



# Then set the allowed origins based on how you run elasticvue. Chose only one:

# for docker / running locally

http.cors.allow-origin: "http://localhost:8080"

# online version

http.cors.allow-origin: /https?:\/\/app.elasticvue.com/



# and if your cluster uses authorization you also have to add:

http.cors.allow-headers: X-Requested-With,Content-Type,Content-Length,Authorization

```



If you use docker to run your elasticsearch cluster you can pass the options via environment variables:



```bash

docker run -p 9200:9200 \

           -e "http.cors.enabled=true" \

           -e "http.cors.allow-origin=/.*/" \

           elasticsearch

```



After configuration restart your cluster and you should be able to connect.



## Browser Support



Any current version of Chrome, Firefox and Edge (Chromium) should work without issues. Safari is mostly untested so your

mileage may vary.



## Troubleshooting



Before opening an issue please try to reset elasticvue to its default settings:



1. Open the settings

2. Download a backup of your current elasticvue data

3. Click `Disconnect and reset`



This will reset all your saved filters, and you have to reconnect to your cluster. Please open

an [issue](https://github.com/cars10/elasticvue/issues/new/choose) if your problem persists.



## Comparing with other frontends



See the Wiki. [Comparing to other frontends](https://github.com/cars10/elasticvue/wiki/Comparing-to-other-frontends)



## i18n



Elasticvue is available in the following languages:



* english

* chinese (about 80% translated)



### Help wanted



I do not speak chinese and therefore rely on your help to keep the chinese translation up-to-date. Please open a PR if

you notice missing/wrong translations in the chinese version.



### Adding a new language



If you want to add a new language: translate `src/locales/en.json` and open a PR.
