Here some hints how to query elasticSearch from your web browser

First of all ElasticSearch has an excellent web site with a lot of documentation:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index.html

To inspect your indexes following functions are very helpfull:

Queries

search (_search)

with "_search" you can search for specific index types. e.g. "workflow" index types:

http://172.17.2.91:9200/workflow/_search

display (?pretty)

with "?pretty" the content will be displaied in a structured way

http://172.17.2.91:9200/workflow/_search?pretty

amount of objects (&size)

if you wnat to see more than 10 objects ausgegeben use the option "size". "Size" defines the amount of ibjects to display e.g. 100

http://172.17.2.91:9200/workflow/_search?pretty&size=100

filter (&q=<feld>:<wert>)

IF you wnat to filter the objects you can use the function "&q=" e.g. filter attribute "status" for content "11":

http://172.17.2.91:9200/workflow/_search?pretty&size=100&q=status:11

If there are spaces in the filter expression use brackets:

http://172.17.2.91:9200/workflow/_search?pretty&size=100&q=status:(NOT DENIED)

Load a Template

If you extend your elasticSearch with new content type you have to add a "mapping template". This is a JSON file, that discribes the content of your index. For example to load the mapping template for workflow index:
