Discover Elasticvue: A Lightweight Yet Powerful Elasticsearch GUI

1. Download and Install

Enter the download page and obtain the appropriate package for your operating system (e.g., the .dmg file for macOS). After installation, launch Elasticvue by clicking its icon.

2. Cluster Configuration

Click the "Add ELASTICSEARCH cluster" button and choose a verification method (none, username/password, or API key). Test the connection; a success message indicates the cluster is linked and the home page displays node information and health status.

The home page offers operations such as Nodes, Shards, Indices, Search, REST, Snapshots, and Settings.

3. Create Index

Creating an index in Elasticsearch can be done with a PUT request. Define settings and mappings as needed. Example mapping:

PUT /assetstestdataresources.filecenter.directory
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "dir_name": {"type": "text", "fields": {"keyword": {"type": "keyword"}}},
      "entity_type": {"type": "keyword"},
      "entity_id": {"type": "keyword"},
      "add_time": {"type": "date", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss||epoch_millis"},
      "u_time": {"type": "date", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss||epoch_millis"},
      "tags": {"type": "text", "fields": {"keyword": {"type": "keyword"}}}
    }
  }
}

The PUT method creates or updates the index and its mappings, defining the document structure and field types.

3.1 REST Interface Creation

Click the REST button, paste the example mapping into the left pane, and send the request. The right pane returns the response.

4. Add Data

Use a POST request to add documents to the index. Example request format:

PUT /<index-name>/_doc/<document-id>
{
  "field1": "value1",
  "field2": "value2"
  // more fields...
}

Adding a sample document:

POST /assetstestdataresources.filecenter.directory/_doc/1
{
  "dir_name": "供应商:KHBH-20241016-0001",
  "entity_type": "info_supplier",
  "entity_id": "1",
  "add_time": "2024-11-06 10:59:00",
  "u_time": "2024-11-06 10:59:00",
  "tags": ["供应商", "2024年", "新合作"]
}

5. View Index

Navigate to the Index section, select the created index, and view all documents. Use the action buttons on the right to see detailed data for each document.
