Could you help explain why the behavior is different between GET and POST? And advise how to make it work when using GET? Thanks in advance.

The request should request to ES rather than Kibana, it works after changing to request [http://kibana.xxx.xxx.xx:9200/\_msearch](http://kibana.xxx.xxx.xx:9200/_msearch).
