v5.x support
hi,
I am new to ES. So looking at simpler ways to create/maintain the mappings. GEM looks a good option to try out. But now that v5.x no longer supports site plugins, is there a way to run this as a standalone site just like elasticsearch-head? I am using ES v5.x on windows. So please let me know how can I use GEM for my setup.
Thanks
@askids If you are just using it on a dev environment, there is a chrome extension that can be used - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gem/enmjddbghmojhlldblbblolfljndkkjn.
We don't have a docker image yet but it should be trivial to build one. I will look into this option.
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, our company blocks unauthorized plugins from being installed on Chrome due to security issues. If not, I would have tried that as the first option.
Hello there. For me it's not working either. Neither the chrome plugin (thank you for that btw) nor building it from source. I can connect and there is a green bar on top of the application indicating some connection attempt but it never connects. My connection string is "http://localhost" with a locally running ES 5.4 (on windows for development purposes)
@naymore Did you change your ES configuration to allow the plugin access? You will need to do that in both cases - chrome extension and running locally.
Right... I thought installing the plugin was optional because it was one of the three "or" alternatives. Where do I get the plugin from? Can't see any zips around...
@naymore I am referencing the chrome extension https://github.com/appbaseio/gem#get-the-chrome-extension.
In your elasticsearch.yml file that you use to configure Elasticsearch, you need to add access for the chrome extension.
