Bad request (error 400)

[guitmz]

Hi there!

Great to see a connector for ElasticSearch (this should be something native from Tableau, of course but well..).

Sorry to bother but...

I'm having issues with the connector. I enter a valid cluster node URL, a valid index name and a valid type but I always get a Bad request response. Even using a custom query. The query works fine in the same URL via cURL. The error is the following, without custom query (big, so it's on pastebin): http://pastebin.com/fMDvCBx0
Is there anything I can do here to get more information on how to proceed?

My ES version: 1.6.0
Tableau Desktop is on latest.

Thanks

Looks like here's the root cause of the issue (from the error you logs you provided):

 ScriptException[scripts of type [inline], operation [search] and lang [groovy] are disabled

The connector uses a server side script to format the date in the format that Tableau expects. This could be done client side I'm thinking with moment without too much difficulty.

Need to add a note about that in the README...

Can you try enabling scripts and see what the results are?

Awesome, it worked! I added the following to elasticsearch.yml (v1.6, on each cluster node):

script.inline: on
script.indexed: on
script.file: on
script.search: on

After a cluster restart I was able to connect in Tableau Desktop. You should add this to the README :)

Very impressive work sir, keep it up!

Thanks
