Hi all!

Just started using Grafana + ES. I run ES in docker:

> docker run -d --name es -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.7.0](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.7.0)

Then generated some data into index **recipes** that look like these:

> "hits": [  
> {  
> "\_index": "recipes",  
> "\_type": "salads",  
> "\_id": "8d\_JKHIBzym3yKfai79o",  
> "\_score": 1,  
> "\_source": {  
> "title": "-",  
> "submitter": "-",  
> "description": "-",  
> "calories": 0,  
> "ingredients": ,  
> "timestamp": 1589822195829  
> }  
> },  
> ....  
> ]

Then I registered created ES cluster in GRafana:

> {  
> "datasource": {  
> "id": 4,  
> "orgId": 1,  
> "name": "Elasticsearch",  
> "type": "elasticsearch",  
> "typeLogoUrl": "",  
> "access": "direct",  
> "url": "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)",  
> "password": "",  
> "user": "",  
> "database": "recipes",  
> "basicAuth": false,  
> "basicAuthUser": "",  
> "basicAuthPassword": "",  
> "withCredentials": false,  
> "isDefault": true,  
> "jsonData": {  
> "esVersion": 77,  
> "logLevelField": "",  
> "logMessageField": "",  
> "maxConcurrentShardRequests": 256,  
> "timeField": "timestamp"  
> },  
> "secureJsonFields": {},  
> "version": 25,  
> "readOnly": false  
> },  
> "id": 4,  
> "message": "Datasource updated",  
> "name": "Elasticsearch"  
> }

Started a panel. After that I expected to see data that were in **recipe** index but I didn't.  
They must appear in panel, right?

In dev tools console I see only OPTION http requests:

I'm trying to work out this issue all day long and this upsets me.

Have you tried raising this on a grafana forum? I am not sure we have the knowledge to be able to troubleshoot this problem sorry.

Oh, you're right! My mistake. I was going to write this message in Grafana community.
