Hello Prashant,

You can view documents written to the index a few different ways, the easiest is probably via Discover:

1. First [create an index pattern](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html) that matches the index written to by the connector
2. Then you can select your index pattern and view individual documents [in Discover](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/discover.html)
3. You can also [create a visualization](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.14/introduction.html#visualize-and-analyze) for easier data exploration

Hope that helps!

Regards,  
Aaron
