Hi Team,

We want to enable debugging or trace in Elasticsearch to capture client connection, capture the timings while user querying the indices. Is there anyway to possible these task.

NOTE:- Here we are using NodeJS scripting to connect with Elastic and querying the Index.

Thanks,  
Debasis

Elasticsearch integrates with [its own APM product](https://www.elastic.co/observability/application-performance-monitoring), which has a [NodeJS integration](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/nodejs/current/index.html). That's the best way to get this information IMO. I don't think you can do this with logging.
