Elasticsearch Configuration

This tool needs to have http access to an Elasticsearch node. Elasticsearch security configuration needs to be relaxed to allow cross-domain requests and to allow non-https requests.

Below are the most-permisive elasticsearch.yaml settings. Do not use these values in a production cluster.

Disabling ssl might not be necessary if you don't intend to clone, build, and host this repo locally.

xpack.security.http.ssl:
  enabled: false

http.host: 0.0.0.0
http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: '*'

Development

The app was initialized with Create React App.

It is deployed to Github Pages using the gh-pages package.

Roadmap

The custom tab needs the following improvements:

• Add all tokenizers
• Allow tokenizer parameter input
• Add all token filters
• Allow filter parameter input
• Allow filters to be inserted in any order
• Auto-genarate the forms for tokenizer params and filter params from the Elasticsearch specification
