I am trying to index data to a node in a remote cluster using the ElasticSearch python client. I have the details of the cluster. I have tried the following:

```
client= Elasticsearch(
  ['http://user:secretkey@clustername:port']

```

)  
if not client.ping():  
print("No connection")  
else:  
print(client.ping())

client.index(index='index\_name',doc\_type="doctype\_name",body=JSONBody)

I get **True** when I ping the cluster, so I assume I am able to connect to the cluster. But when I try to index some data or perform any operation like searching the index with a query or finding cluster health, I just **ok** as response and the data is not indexed. How can I actually get the results/response from the index instead of just "ok"?

Have you tried to increase the logging? See [https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/index.html#logging](https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/index.html#logging)
