Hi All,  
I want to search an api call which was made through another api by using a post script in kibana. How can i do that? Basically i can see the root api call in kibana. How can i find if there is any other api calls made through parent api?

Hey @bikas_padhi,

Are you interested in tracing the actual Kibana application API calls, or are you trying to see the API calls from another system whose logs are stored in Elasticsearch?
