Name or tag the search query

[jdpark (Johnny Park)]

Hello. I recently upgraded from Elastic 2.X to 5.X. In 5.X, it looks like queries can no longer have arbitrary URL parameters. I used to append my search URL with a name, e.g.

_search?name=mysearch

so that I can distinguish easily among many types of searches on Chrome dev tool. (My app invokes multiple AJAX concurrently.) Prior to naming the URL, I clicked through many of the _search lines to find the one I want.

Is there a naming/tagging feature in Elastic 5, or is there a different approach to help debug multiple calls to Elastic? (I'm also open to other tools than Chrome dev tool).

Thank you.

Hey,

indeed, parsing got strict here. You could set the X-Opaque-Id HTTP header field, which is also returned in the response.

Thanks! I can add that header as custom response header in the dev tool.
