Curiosity concepts
Main page overview
As you can see on the previous screenshot, curiosity is divided in three main area :
- The First area allows you to add/choose an elasticsearch server and to select an alias or index to work on.
- The second area is a default search gui ...
- And then the last area is the toolbar, that give you the possibility to save your work, launch query, open menus ...
First area : Select your server and index
On the first area, there are two drop down list(1) :
- The first one allows you to choose a server. If you use curiosity for the first time, normally there is only one server in this list. If you want to add a new server, press "New" button, fill the input that just appeared, then click on connect. If you curiosity was able to reach the server, "connect" button stays green (2) and your server is added to the server list, otherwise the button goes red (3).
- The second list contains all current server indexes.
Choose a server and an index then let's customize your layout
The green/red light represents the curiosity's status. If it goes red, an error has occurred. If you want more information about it, check the developper console (a curiosity's console will soon be added).
Center area : Basic Search context
