Hi,

First, make sure that you configure your elasticsearch datasource in Grafana using the Access=Direct, see screenshot below.

Second, you’ll need to enable CORS in elasticsearch since Grafana will communicate with your local elasticsearch instance solely from the browser. How you do this for your elasticsearch version can be found in officical elasticsearch documentation.
