Welcome to our community! 😃

What happens when you curl Elasticsearch?

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

Thanks!

You will need to add the username and password that was configured when you enabled security. See [Start the Elastic Stack with security enabled | Elasticsearch Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-stack-security.html)
