How to know what Elasticsearch endpoint is used by Kibana to make graphs?

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I have URI like
../discover#/?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now%2Fd,to:now%2Fd))&_a=(columns:!(_source),filters:!(),index:{index},interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:%27%27),sort:!(!(created_at,desc)))
at Kibana and it returns me hits total and hits per every half hour printed at bar graph.

If I'm right every bar returns difference between values per half hour.

I want to get plain data about it via command line.

What API Elasticsearch endpoint I should use to get such data?

I've tried to store ${index_name}/_stats/docs data but it doesn't match with Kibana graph data.

Endpoint /metrics has been used but it has different from Kibana graph values too.

Hi @philyeanaeknss ,

that is a little bit hard to reproduce in general.
To be honest my recommendation here would be to switch to ES|QL mode in Discover, then open the inspector and copy the request made for the visualization in there: at that point you can be 100% sure that the table returned by the ES|QL endpoint is the same used for the bar chart.

Hm..
It is possible to copy request body only not its URI.

you are quite right.
I've opened an issue for it here you can track: [Inspector] ES|QL Request doesn't show URL in the Request panel · Issue #221581 · elastic/kibana · GitHub

So there's no any other way to find complete URL?

The URL is the Elasticsearch ES|QL /_query as described here: Use the ES|QL _query API | Elastic Docs

The request body can be used as is against that endpoint to get the visualization table.
