## Usage tips

To make this more convenient to use (ie: without having to enter in the remote ElasticSearch URL each time), it's helpful to know that you can decorate the URL to the plugin, and use a bookmark on your bookmark bar to use in the future.

* If your ElasticSearch server is local, you can use
[chrome-extension://ffmkiejjmecolpfloofpjologoblkegm/elasticsearch-head/index.html?base_uri=http://localhost:9200]()
* If your ElasticSearch server is remote and you have to use a SSH tunnel through a jump host:
* setup your tunnel (in my example, port 29200)
`ssh -N -L 29200:myeshost:9200 myusername@jumphost`
* then use [chrome-extension://ffmkiejjmecolpfloofpjologoblkegm/elasticsearch-head/index.html?base_uri=http://localhost:29200]() to get to the remote ES cluster.

* If you have multiple remote ES clusters that you often connect to, making a folder in your bookmark bar, and then having each ES cluster can look pretty snazzy:
