Hi,

I can point my grafana datasource to elasticsearch through browser mode.But I am not able to do it through server mode as service is unavailable(error 503).

Thanks in advance.

Regards,  
Moksha

Unless your Elasticsearch logs show something that might identify the issue, I am not sure we will be able to help.
