Hi,

I am using ELK GA 5.0.0. I have enabled http metric in Logstash, so that I am able to get data using curl like;

```
curl -XGET "http://192.168.0.1:9600/_node/pipeline?pretty"

```

I would like to know if the same is possible using Kibana's Dev Tools Console. When I paste the above curl to Kibana's console, it becomes like;

```
GET /_node/pipeline?pretty

```

which gives me error like below;

```
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason": "No endpoint or operation is available at [pipeline]"
      }
    ],
    "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason": "No endpoint or operation is available at [pipeline]"
  },
  "status": 400
}

```

I am using Kibana's console to get elasticsearch information, but is it possible to get Logstash information in a similar way?

Thank you.

As far as I know the Kibana Console is limited to querying the Elastricsearch cluster it is associated with, so you would not be able to call Logstash.
