Remote GUI client for elastic search

I have searched enough on the web but did not find the solution.

Is there a remote GUI client for Elastic Search server just like Oracle SQL Developer in order to see the schema & other details of the remote elastic db.

Currently I am using the elastic head plugin

enter image description here

It doesn't let me connect to the remote elastic cluster. It only works if the elastic server is hosted in the same machine. I also added the below entries to elastic.yml file but doesn't works. Says no connection to the remote host.

#http.cors.enable: true
#http.cors.allow-origin: "remotehosturl:9200"

You need to remove the # character in front your two lines, as that comments out the line and thus has no effect.

Also the correct settings for CORS is named http.cors.enabled not http.cors.enable

So you should include these two lines:

http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: "remotehosturl:9200"

Also you have the choice with other plugins, such as Marvel, Kopf or the Sense Chrome plugin (soon available as a Kibana-powered standalone tool)
