ElasticHQ/elasticsearch-HQ
Elasticsearch HQ
Elasticsearch-HQ is a web-based management interface used to monitor and administer Elasticsearch clusters, indices, and nodes through a graphical dashboard. It serves as an API proxy for executing REST requests and managing cluster data and metadata.
The project provides centralized multi-cluster orchestration, allowing administrators to manage several remote instances from a single interface. It includes specialized managers for index lifecycle control, snapshot repository backup management, and real-time health tracking for node performance and shard stability.
The platform covers a broad range of administrative capabilities, including data reindexing, index alias control, and mapping inspection. It also features diagnostic tools for identifying cluster issues and a graphical interface for data querying and retrieval.
Connectivity is managed through a proxy-based gateway that supports SSL/TLS network security and basic authentication. System settings and connection metadata are maintained via environment variables, JSON configuration files, and a local database.
