Sense - a Cool JSON Aware Interface to Elasticsearch
Blog post from Elastic
Sense was initially introduced as a Chrome plugin designed to enhance the user experience with Elasticsearch by providing features like autocompletion, code highlighting, and formatting, making it easier to explore Elasticsearch's capabilities through a more comfortable query interface than cURL. Over time, Sense evolved into a Kibana plugin known as "Console" in the Dev Tools section, eliminating the need for a separate browser plugin and integrating directly into Kibana. The tool facilitates users in executing queries using a simpler syntax, supports copy-pasting between cURL and Sense formats, and offers features such as context-sensitive autocompletion and a query history of the last 500 edits to streamline Elasticsearch operations. Sense also includes functionalities like code indentation and folding to help manage complex JSON data structures, making it a valuable tool for both routine tasks and learning how to effectively construct Elasticsearch queries. With ongoing updates, including the requirement for valid content type headers in Elasticsearch 6.0, Sense remains a vital resource for Elasticsearch users, now seamlessly accessible within Kibana's interface.
