I’m trying to dynamically set values for X-Opaque-Id header in the requests sent to Elasticsearch.
In the data source configuration, I can add custom headers but how do I dynamically set the value of the header to be the login id of a user?
I tried using the global variables but they just resolve as literal strings.
${__user.id} is the ID of the current user. ${__user.login} is the login handle of the current user.
I agree but when I use ${__user.id} or ${__user.login} in a custom header of a data source, it does not resolve.
please share what you have, screen grab etc. not sure what data source you are using
how do you know it resolves to literal string? are you seeing the actual traffic?
Yes, I checked what was received on the Elasticsearch end.
I would use infinity plugin instead of elastic search
it has a more robust way of sending headers.
