Does sense only work in Kibana?

Question

I am using elastic 2.0 and I am trying to access sense from the following URL:

I followed the instruction on installing sense from here:

However I'm only able to access sense from within Kibana if I try to access it from elastic I get a blank page.

What am I missing?

sense has become a kibana app and so is Marvel 2.0. The URL you are trying will throw 404 error.

As you said the correct way to access is http://localhost:5601/app/sense considering default settings.

More on that

Many thanks, although what I find bizarre is if it only works in Kibana now, why do the instructions state to install it within Elastic and Kibana? – Imran Azad Nov 21 '15 at 14:15
You need to install marvel in both ES and kibana because It has two components, one to collect metrics and other one to visualize those in kibana. [More](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/introduction.html#_monitoring_with_marvel) on that. – ChintanShah25 Nov 21 '15 at 14:21
Just to confirm I installed a fresh copy of ES and Kibana on a new box and I did not have to install sense in Elastic, only in Kibana and everything seems to work fine in sense, I can drop indexes and create indexes etc. – Imran Azad Nov 23 '15 at 19:20
You are right. I was talking about Marvel, you need that on both, and sense in kibana only. – ChintanShah25 Nov 23 '15 at 19:22
