Is the provisioning doc correct?

[benjamin-bergia]

Hi,

I am trying to replace my elasticsearch datasources with this plugin. The plugin is installed correctly and I didn't touch my provisioning files since the config and type seemsto be exactly the same than for ES. Unfortunately the query editor is still the same and it looks like it is not using the plugin.

Shouldn't the type in here be something different than:

datasources:
  - name: elasticsearch-v7-filebeat
    type: elasticsearch

?

Hi @benjamin-bergia
good catch, the correct value is type: grafana-es-open-distro-datasource, we need to update the docs.

could you submit a PR?

thanks for reporting it!

Ok I will have a look. Quick question: is there other options that are different from the elasticsearch datasource and should be documented?

In the provisioning configuration i think no, the id should be the only thing that changed

I think I have seen an option to enable/disable ppl somewhere but I can't remember where.

true! should be jsonData.pplEnabled (boolean). also missing in docs but available in the DS settings:
