Hi

I'm trying to use curl to pull data from my indices however the Dev Tools console in Kibana does not provide the correct hostname when I use the "Copy as cURL" option.

I can set up a search in Kibana Dev Tools like so:

POST ens-status-\*/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"match\_phrase": {  
"customerId": "TESCO"  
}  
}  
],  
"minimum\_should\_match": 1,  
"filter": {  
"range": {  
"@timestamp": {  
"from": "now-30m",  
"to": "now"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

And this works absolutely fine and provides the data I need. However, when I then select the spanner (wrench) symbol and choose the Copy as cURL option, it provides me a curl command as follows, which seems to reference a container host, rather than a real host that resolves correctly:

curl -XPOST "[http://73b15f5b7bb104552a4beeb41bd3a9bb5ec.containerhost:9244/ens-status-\*/\_search](http://73b15f5b7bb104552a4beeb41bd3a9bb5ec.containerhost:9244/ens-status-*/_search)" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"match\_phrase": {  
"customerId": "TESCO"  
}  
}  
],  
"minimum\_should\_match": 1,  
"filter": {  
"range": {  
"@timestamp": {  
"from": "now-30m",  
"to": "now"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

Any ideas why this is the case?

Thanks in advance

Ian Jarvis

It's because Kibana only knows that URL (inside the container).  
If you run Kibana outside (on the host) then the url will be ok.
