Can i possibly use Grafana using only elasticsearch?
Question
I am currently using Kibana 3, configured with Elasticsearch. Is there any possibilities to use same Elasticsearch index with Grafana. I searched a lot, but all are redirecting me to use graphite.
Why is it not possible to use Elasticsearch instead of graphite ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
(I am using Windows 7, just FYI)

Grafana 1.9 does not support elasticsearch as a datasource.
You may try to using Version v2.0. This version allows to set elasticsearch like a datasource.

- Grafana is a frontend to Graphite.
- Kibana is a frontend to elasticsearch.

Graphite stores only timeseries pair of data [time, value] whereas Elasticsearch can store large complex json documents. Grafana is written to understand just time series data and cannot 'understand' json.
FYI- Whatever your usecase, elasticsearch can handle it.
