Elasticsearch Explorer

Flask interface to easily view indices, doc_types and documents in elasticsearch cluster

This is a Python-Flask based application which displays all the indices in your Elasticsearch cluster listing all the doc_types in each index. Also, documents of each doc_type in an index can be seen in a clear JSON format.

Installation & dependencies
