Hi am new in elastic search, I installed the elastic search in my windows 7 machine but I can't know, how to run and use elastic search queries in windows where should I type the elastic search queries and where should I run this queries?..
Any one know about it help me. Thanks in advance...
There are multiple ways to do that.
via HTTP interface, which means that you can run GET queries via your browser (Firefox, Chrome etc.) by accesing the proper url like:
http://localhost:9200/_search?q=tag:wow
Elasticsearch's HEAD plugin. You can execute any query with it. It also has multiple additional functionalities.
Install cUrl for Windows and then run queries just like every tutorial suggests.
use any programming language like PHP that supports curl library.
Personally I prefer HEAD plugin since it has other functionalities that I use anyway.
you can also check sense plugin for chrome. It will also help you in syntax for queries.
you can get it from here

Is it possible to save a bunch of queries into a single JSON file to import in Kibana Console?
I know there's an option to save a single query[2] and the Kibana console is based on local storage, but I would like to load up the queries based on parameters, such that changing the params(e.g load_from=filename.json) should load up a different set of queries.
For example, when I open http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dev_tools/console?load_from=filename.json, it should open the Kibana console with ES queries from the file.
EDIT: As a workaround, it's possible to do this with Postman API Client or similar API clients.
Solution:
EDIT 2 on 22/02/2022: Kibana Spaces is the answer. It lets you organize dashboards and other saved objects into meaningful categories[3]. Whenever you load http://localhost:5601/ it lets you choose the space you want to work with. Having multiple browser tabs with different saved spaces should work for most cases.

Unfortunately, that's not possible yet.
Elastic is (supposedly) working on a new Kibana feature (tabbed console panes #10095) that will provide support for better organizing the code in the Dev Tools application. The issue has been opened for a while and not much seems to be happening, so we'll see.
The release date of that feature is not known yet.
I'm new to elasticsearch and am still trying to set it up. I have installed elasticsearch 5.5.1 using default values I have also installed Kibana 5.5.1 using the default values. I've also installed the ingest-attachment plugin with the latest x-pack plugin. I have elasticsearch running as a service and I have Kibana open in my browser. On the Kibana dashboardI have an error stating that it is unable to fetch mappings. I guess this is because I havn't set up any indices or pipelines yet. This is where I need some steer, all the documentation I've found so far on-line isn't particularly clear. I have a directory with a mixture of document types such as pdf and doc files. My ultimate goal is to be able to search these documents with values that a user will enter via an app. I'm guessing I need to use the Dev Tools/console window in Kibana using the 'PUT' command to create a pipeline next, but I'm unsure of how I should do this so that it points to my directory with the documents. Can anybody provide me an example of this for this version please.
If I understand you correctly, let's first set some basic understanding about elasticsearch:
Elasticsearch in it's simple definition is a "Search engine". so you need to store some data, and then elastic will help you to search using a search criteria, and it will retrieve relevant data back
You need a "Container" to save your data to, and elastic has this thing like any database engine to store your data, but the terms are somehow different. for example a "Database" in sql-like systems is called "Index", and what you know as "table" is called "Type" in elastic.
from my understanding, you will need to create your index (with or without mappings) to have a starting point, and I recommend you to start without mappings just to "start" and get things working, but later on it's highly recommend to work with "mappings" if applicable, because elastic is smart, but it cannot know more about your data than you do
Because Kibana has failed to find a proper index to start with, it has complained and asked you to either provide a syntax for index names, or a specific index name so it can infer the inline mappings and give you the nice features of querying, displaying charts, etc of your data, so once you create your index, you will provide that to the starting page of Kibana, and you will be ready to go.
Let me know if you need something more specific to your needs :)
I'm using Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana to process, store and visualize my logs.
My setup works fine but now I'm looking for a new tool : before ELK I was used to read my logs on Notepad++ or Glogg (I'm on Windows) and now I'm using only kibana discover tab.
Do you think I can find a native application that looks like a read-only Notepad++ that query Elasticsearch and display my logs like before ?
The three features I actually need are :
querying multiple sources logs,
for a specified date range,
and display it quickly to a concise and fast viewer.
I don't think it's very complicated to implement, so that's why i'm wondering if it already exists :)
I try to index data on Elasticsearch, my problem is;after run the "elasticsearch.bat" command, I able to connect to the server, all process well done.but after that I cant write anything to the command line.Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thats Ok, you see the ElasticSearch console output. Just open an other console to make some input. Or start ElasticSearch as a service (http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.3/setup-service-win.html)
There is no command-line input available for Elasticsearch. You can do operations on Elasticsearch by REST commands (or with a Client API in for example JAVA).
You can use CURL (application) to do REST operations in a command line.
You can use the the internet browser to do some HTTP-GET commands. You can also do other REST commands (PUT, POST, DELETE) with some Chrome plugins like POSTMAN.
There are some Elasticsearch plugins available to enable monitoring and management tooling that becomes available via the browser.
Please read the Elasticsearch documentation!
For all operations on indexes, mappings, querying, etc, the Marvel plugin has the Sense REST API interface which is fabulous. Sense is wrapped within the Marvel plugin which is free for development.
It allows you to execute all possible ES API commands as JSON. We use it both as a way to prototype commands before implementing them in our ES client, and as a way to test very specific/boundary search scenarios.
There are lots of other cool plugins to help you manage your ElasticSearch, some of which are described here.
Good luck!
When you type only elasticsearch.bat, it means you are starting Elasticsearch server in the foreground, that´s why you are seeing real-time logs in your terminal and hence you can´t type anything.
Now, leave that unclosed and open another terminal (no need to go to the Elasticsearch directory again) and just type
curl 'http://localhost:9200/?pretty' but first make sure that curl is supported in your terminal, if not, you need to use another terminal that supports it, for example Git Shell for Windows.
Afterwards you can use this second terminal to do your indexing.
Via terminal with command curl + XGET (or XPUT, XDELETE, XPOST) you can send commands to elasticsearch:
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/your_index' -d '{
"query":
{
"filtered":
{
"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}
}
}';
You can also use the Chrome extension Sense, which can handle JSON configs (with handy history, nice highlighting).
I think you have misunderstood something:
ElasticSearch runs as a http service, that the reason why you cant still using that console.
Solution: just open another console.
But, keep in mind you dont need to use a console, you can access it using any REST Client. Take a look at "Postman - REST Client" and "Sense (Beta)". Both are Chrome extensions.
I am trying to get up to speed on an elasticsearch implementation on a project. How can I see the data that is on the cluster? Is there a commandline tool that gives me information on the schema?
To get schema:
curl -XGET 'http://loadtest-appserver1:9200/myIndex/_mapping'
See Elasticsearch Api Doc
Try using ElasticSearch Head
http://mobz.github.io/elasticsearch-head/
It's a great tool when peeking in your index and it's meta data (such as the schema) to find out what's going on.
Also it's HTML5/REST based, so you can take a look in your browser at the commands it sends to your cluster and use those with command line CURL if needed.
