New Elasticsearch Chrome Extension

Hi All,

As you may have seen in FAQ: Broken Elasticsearch Head Chrome Extension Workaround the Elasticsearch extension we were using in the VDIs (Elasticsearch Head) is no longer supported by Google Chrome!

We have now added a new extension called Multi Elasticsearch Heads to the VDIs to hopefully replace the old extension!

This extension should both appear and function very similarly to Elasticsearch Head; however, if you are having any issues or have any questions on how to use the new extension, please let us know in the comments!

How to add the new extension

Step 1: To add the new extension, first you will need to run the following commands:

cd ~
cp /opt/training/other-resources/chrome-plugins/ElasticMultiheadChrome.zip ~
unzip ElasticMultiheadChrome.zip -d ElasticMultiheadChrome

Step 2: Open up files and navigate to the "Home" folder

You should now see a folder called ElasticMultiheadChrome

Step 3: Add the new extension to Chrome

To do this you can either follow the instructions in the environment setup module or follow the guide in this comment!

Remember to select the ElasticMultiheadChrome folder instead of the elastic_head folder!

Step 4: Done!

You should now be able to use the new extension!

I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any issues etc!
