Hello, I asked in previous [topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/discover-edit-document-in-the-table-view/140342/2) about the possibility of handling the Elasticsearch data via Discover UI. Unfortunately, this is not possible yet (you can find here the issue created on the [github repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/20916)). So, I decided to create my own Discover ðŸĪŠ I started by displaying the index list in select component (using this [app](https://github.com/TrumanDu/indices_view)) ðŸ•ķ. But I don't have any idea how to display the data (UI and technically) 😭 ![Sans%20titre](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/8/6891608c4de0738b8df1f1ee098ecdd851ffa103.png) The question: is there an example which it can help me to get data in each select of indexName ? (in the Kibana server side). I'll appreciate it if the example is a source code. Thanks for advance. Warm regards, Akrem. ---

Hey, there's a couple ways to get this done so I'll do a quick rundown, but there's room for creativity. We can dive deeper into any of these parts too, let me know. 1. server: create a route that accepts an index pattern, and queries elasticsearch [example](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/f0cc432fafd6f7053f32d493aba8b576dcb20539/src/core_plugins/metrics/server/routes/fields.js#L24), [server docs](https://hapijs.com/api/14.2.0) 2. server: in the route handler, you can use our client library for communicating with elasticsearch [example](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.3/development-elasticsearch.html), [client docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/index.html) 3. ajax call from the browser ---

Depends on how specific the request gets. If you want to include a large body in the request you'll want a POST. An example may be including an elasticsearch query. If you only want results from an index name, a GET should be sufficient. ---

> [@jbudz](#): > > index name The index list is dynamic, so the GET isn't sufficient in this case. Thanks 🙂 ---
