Elasticsearch datasource provisioning just...fails

Grafana Elasticsearch
1

Hello Everyone,

I have recently just started using elasticsearch with grafana and when I manually provision a datasource…it works just fine.

I duplicated all of the settings from the UI in my datasource yaml, however, it seems to not want to work. The connetion fails each time (see screenshot).

We are using TLS as the elasticseach instance will reside on another host.

Not sure where I went wrong, but if anyone has any insight please let me know :slight_smile:

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Please follow instruction and check your server logs first to see what’s a problem.

Also I’m missing how yaml (which creates broken datasource) and working datasource looks like, grafana version,… (all details to have reproducible example).

Thank you, I have seen the documentation. I am going to add it manually for now, it seems to work fine.
