I'm experiencing a strange problem trying to run an aggregation search through kibana. If I run this: ```auto curl -H"kbn-version:4.5.0" -H"content-type:application/json" -d'{ "size": 0, "aggs": { "issues_without_types": { "missing": { "field": "issue_tags" } } } }' -X POST http://localhost:9200/chef/issue/_search ``` it works, I get what expected. However, if I run it through Kibana, I mean `POST http://localhost:5601/elasticsearch/chef/issue/_search`, I get a 404 error: ```auto { "statusCode": 404, "error": "Not Found" } ``` What am I doing wrong? Note that I got this error the first time writing an app plugin for Kibana and using the es service. When I saw the 404 errors from the web console, then I tried to reproduce the error with curl. Thanks in advance. ---

Are you including the same headers in the second request as the first? ---

Yes, exactly as I typed in my post. The only thing that changes is the url. One more information if that can help: If I use `http://localhost:5601/elasticsearch/*/_search` or `http://localhost:5601/elasticsearch/chef/_search` it works. I tried with different indexes and it works. The problem seems to be related to the doc\_type. ---

I see. Kibana creates a proxy for only certain Elasticsearch routes. You can see them here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core\_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L54-L59](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L54-L59) As you'll notice, we proxy `POST /{index}/_search` but not `POST /{index}/{type}/search`. This is why you're seeing a 404. Hope that helps! ---

Yes, I figured out something like that. As a workaround I changed my code for not hitting `POST /{index}/{type}/search` and it's working. Btw, is there any reason for not creating the proxy? Are you going to fix it? Thanks ---

Hi, i am also experiencing the same issue. 1. what code did you change? 2. what if i add a proxy like POST /{index}/{type}/{id} ? would that be an error? i am trying to post data in a new index using index api. Thanks. ---

My workaround consists in including the type as part of the query (\_type: my\_doc\_type) so to POST /{index}/\_search. Hope this helps. ---

Thanks. This solves the problem, but what about adding the proxy, would that break things? ---

Not sure I understand what you want to do. ---

HI, There are predefined routes to elastic search as mentioned in : [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core\_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L54-L59](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/elasticsearch/index.js#L54-L59) If i add a new proxy like createProxy(server, 'POST', '/{index}/{type}/{id}'), then also i am able to post to elastic search. I am more keen in using this but only if it wont break anything. By break i mean any security that can be now be easily breached on inserting this proxy. ---

I see. I'm not so expert on Kibana to answer your question. ---
