Kibana: Cant import Shakespeare.json on Sense Web Plugin

Question

I am trying to import shakespeare.json as per elastic search tutorial.

[Environment]

1. Elastic Search 2.1
2. Sense -Extension for Chrome

Answer 1

You should not do this in Sense, but simply from the command line

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary @shakespeare.json

Make sure to point to the correct path of the shakespeare.json file if it is not located in the directory you're in.

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary @/path/to/shakespeare.json

UPDATE

If you run on Windows and you don't have the cURL command present, you can download cURL at https://curl.haxx.se/download.html

Answer 2

In Latest ElasticSearch 6, to populate the sharespeare_6.0.json, the following is the curl command

curl -H Content-Type:application/x-ndjson -XPUT localhost:9200/shakespeare/doc/_bulk --data-binary @shakespeare_6.0.json
