Loading basic data from file with curl for testing. Do I need to use bulk?

Thank you for your reply. I've re-written the data based on the bulk documentation:

curl -s -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/_bulk" --data-binary @bulkJSOJN.json

In it goes! I'll get my client to tweak his application so it outputs this natively as part of logging to make it easy. Now it's back to Kibana :slight_smile:
