Hey,

can you please be more verbose and show an error message that you are getting, the way you are indexing data into Elasticsearch, how the JSON looks like, what exactly you are expecting as a response.

Asking a good question take time to write up, but will increase you chances of getting a proper response by magnitude.

Please see [https://www.elastic.co/help](https://www.elastic.co/help) for further information.
