We want to see the particular document is available in ES under the particular index, so we tried the below query in cerebro visualization tool. **GET Method** > en\_y\_91/basic\_type/denmod\_y\_107722 **Output:** ``` { "_index": "en_y_91", "_type": "basic_type", "_id": "denmod_y_107722", "found": false } ``` So could anyone help us to find the right command for getting the particular document from an index. Thanks in advance !!! ---

The command looks right, but the document does not exist in that index, thus `found: false` is being returned. ---

please check the below screenshots, **Screenshot 1 :** Image output shows data available but still cmd output shows found false. ![Screenshot 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/b/eb6bc356159f3ae0ea5036088b19f968fcb0141b.png) **Screenshot 2:** Image output shows data unavailable(i.e. index not found) but still cmd output shows found false. ![Screenshot 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/8/f836543422c54a245f058bfe926df71d2116174c.png) Kindly check & provide the possible solution for the same. As on the case 1, we have the document in ELK but we see found - false. Thanks in advance !!! ---

Did you mean the below query ? as the above mentioned by you is wrong. > en\_y\_91/basic\_type/denmod\_y\_107325 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/a/7a62f4fcd567840a9a0eb1e6ad6fa1479a3d4832.png) ---

It remains the same output. Check below. ![Screenshot 4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/f/af7006c5d8cef5009fa85f76a841f206cf7bb912.png) ---

It looks to me like ‘denmod\_y\_107325’ is an alias rather than a document id. If this is the case you need to query using the alias rather than the underlying index name. ---

could you help me in querying the alias name. ---
