Hi  
I’m using an on-premise instance of **Elasticsearch version 9.0.1** , and I wanted to test out the **RAG Playground** feature. However, it seems **not visible or accessible** in the UI. Does anyone else have this problem or knows how to solve this?

Does anyone else using **Elasticsearch 9.0.1 on-prem** experience this issue or know how to enable the **RAG Playground**?
