Representing a Kibana query in a REST, curl form

Question

I have a Kibana server in a classic ELK configuration, querying an Elasticsearch instance.

I use the Kibana console to execute sophisticated queries on elasticsearc

Answer 1

In case you are online using a Chrome browser you can go to your Kibana dashboard, open the developer console and write your query while having the Network tab open in the developer console. When you search for your query in the Kibana dashboard you will see the request appear in the developer console. There you can "right click" and select Copy as cURL, which will copy the curl command to your clipboard. Note that credentials of your basic auth may be copied as well. So be careful where you paste it.
