David Ascher (ID: 00000068a1ad334d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/06/2016 It works, which is really helpful for debugging elasticsearch services which have access policies enabled. Only quibble I have is that it's a bit of a pain to configure because the modal dialog keeps disappearing in between copy/paste operations that require tabbing away from the browser. Still, thanks!
