Hello Everyone,  
i am new to elasticsearch and grafana, i have installed grafana and elastic search on the same server  
but while adding datasource of elasticsearch on grafana using elasticsearch plugin, there is a section for elasticsearch details, it says no such index found. please provide an adequate information so that i can add elsaticsearch into grafana.

I have no experience using Grafana, but would recommend that you check if you have any data in Elasticsearch, e.g. through the [cat indices API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-indices.html).
