Hi,  
I'm developing a Kibana plugin. How can I get in my code the payload from a request that is sent to elastic search (it is shown in the Inspect =\> Request UI). I need the query field.

Hi,

You will have to connect to ES using http and APIs -  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/api-reference.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/api-reference.html)

Hope this helps  
Thanks,  
Bhavya

Hi. I do not want to send a query to es. I want to get by code what kibana sends to es (for example, when adding a filter to the discover page). It is shown in the inspect panel but how do i get it through the code to use in my plugin. I am coding in the hack file.

I am trying to import editor\_registry.ts in my hack file:  
import { instance as registry } from 'core\_plugins/console/np\_ready/application/contexts/editor\_context/editor\_registry';

This does not work. How should I import it? I am using Kibana 7.6.1.  
I'm trying to do the following code:  
const editor = registry.getInputEditor();  
const requests = await editor.getRequestsInRange();
