Search clusters, inspectable.
Connect by seed hosts or Cloud ID with basic, API-key, or mTLS authentication; run JSON DSL, ES|QL on Elasticsearch, or PPL on OpenSearch, and manage snapshots and archive backup/restore from one workbench.

The archive Mongrel builds for your indices.
Click any file below to see what goes into a Mongrel Elasticsearch archive - and what restore checks on the way back in. Same Backup Now output you get inside the workbench.
// manifest.json · source version + index list
Records the source Elasticsearch version and the archived index list. Import Backup requires the target cluster to be the same version or newer.

What Mongrel ships for Elasticsearch.
JSON DSL workbench
Write and run Query DSL in a JSON editor with an index picker. Send any _search body to one index or the whole cluster and page through the returned hits.
Document browse & edit
Page through the documents in any index, then insert, update, or delete them in place. Retire an index from the tree when it's truly done.
ES|QL and PPL consoles
Run ES|QL on Elasticsearch or PPL on OpenSearch from one console. Piped queries, tabular results, and export to CSV or JSON.
Index & mapping browser
Browse the indices visible to your cluster and expand any of them to inspect mapping fields and types, nested object properties included. Queries can be scoped to the selected index.
Snapshots & archives
Take and restore native snapshots against repositories already registered in the cluster, and run Mongrel archive backup/restore for encrypted off-cluster copies.
Elasticsearch 8/9 & OpenSearch 2/3
One profile type for both distributions - Mongrel detects which one it connected to. Current releases pass the live package matrix, multi-host failover and mTLS included.
API keys & mTLS
Connect with basic auth, API keys, or mutual TLS - by seed hosts or Elastic Cloud ID. Credentials stay in the OS keychain.
AI explain & rewrite
Paste a query into the assistant chat. It can rewrite the DSL and suggest mapping or analyzer fixes - with redaction before anything leaves the app.
Import & export
Bulk JSON array or JSON Lines in and out, CSV imports that rebuild nested objects from dotted columns, and scroll-API exports with an optional source filter.
