CORS Error When Using Elasticsearch.js

Solution 1:

I don't know why you are getting a cross domain error to begin with. Are you opening your front end as file://.... ? Totally random guess and not sure it matters. If you are and want to run your UI through a web server, you can open a terminal, cd into that dir and run 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7000'. Now your UI is running on localhost:7000.

For CORS settings, see http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-http.html and, if you are using Chrome, http://www.williamjohnbert.com/2013/06/allow-cors-with-localhost-in-chrome/ might help.

In your config you should at least set 'http.cors.enabled: true' and 'http.cors.allow-credentials: true'. The other defaults should be sensible. You may also want to modify the 'http.cors.max-age' setting in case old settings are cached.

Use the js console, net tab in your browser to see what headers you are getting back.

Solution 2:

Add following line to your config yml file

http.cors.enabled : true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-methods: OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
http.cors.allow-headers: X-Requested-With,X-Auth-Token,Content-Type,Content-Length
http.cors.allow-credentials: true

and kill elastic search java process on unix based system like is demonstrated on this topic response https://stackoverflow.com/a/41644614/11079315
