Hi @muhammad_qassem, It's hard to diagnose what's going on based on the information you've given, any number of things could be preventing you from reaching Elasticsearch. What is the error you're receiving? Is your Elasticsearch cluster reachable through curl or other direct network requests? How are you running Elasticsearch? ---

Do you have an enterprise license? The ODBC Driver requires a paid Enterprise License. ---
