I am pretty sure that unless you have set up protection for Elasticsearch, it is open to anything connecting to it. so no protection means Grafana should be able to query Elasticsearch databases easily.

It’ not clear where the issue is, you may need to post more specific data on what you are doing and what error you are seeing. Also, this may be a Grafana config error… at which point this isn’t the right forum… though someone may help anyway…

Hey @jgutie45

I have the same setup. Since its over the network Elasticsearch can not be 0.0.0.0 or loopback address Localhost.If so then using a Nginx and/or apache for routing. Which mean you may want to secure it but might run into issue with Graylog. I have my setup inclosed so its not opened to the World,

Example:

On th ebottom there should be Save & Test button.

Hi again

Hey @jgutie45

One of your errors is a “Bad Gateway” this would be your network configurations probably. Ports, Firewalls and/or you Elasticsearch yaml file network config. So knowning that is work on Graylog server and not remotely make me think that you may have Elasticsearch config set as localhost or 127.0.0.1.
