=== Communicating with Elasticsearch
|
|
|
|
Kibana exposes two clients on the server and browser for communicating with elasticsearch.
|
|
There is an 'admin' client which is used for managing Kibana's state, and a 'data' client for all
|
|
other requests. The clients use the https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/index.html[elasticsearch.js library].

=== Server clients
|
|
|
|
Server clients are exposed through the elasticsearch plugin.
|
|
[source,javascript]
|
|
----
|
|
const adminCluster = server.plugins.elasticsearch.getCluster('admin);
|
|
const dataCluster = server.plugins.elasticsearch.getCluster('data);
|
|
|
|
//ping as the configured elasticsearch.user in kibana.yml
|
|
adminCluster.callWithInternalUser('ping');
|
|
|
|
//ping as the user specified in the current requests header
|
|
adminCluster.callWithRequest(req, 'ping');

=== Browser clients
|
|
|

Browser clients are exposed through AngularJS services.

uiModules.get('kibana')
|
|
.run(function (esAdmin, es) {
|
|
es.ping()
|
|
.then(() => esAdmin.ping())
|
|
.catch(err => {
|
|
console.log('error pinging servers');
|

});
