Elasticsearch odbc connection error : Unsopported content type received

[Gianluca88]

Hi all,

when I tried to setup system DSN in order to connect Power Bi with Elasticsearch , the following error is returned. Does anyone know it?

Perhaps Elasticsearch is not supported via ODBC.

Hi @croberts21 ,

thanks for your response.

It seems strange that Elasticsearch is not supported, since: Microsoft Power BI Desktop | Elasticsearch Guide [8.5] | Elastic.

Let me know if you require further details.

Thanks,

g.

I found the solution on my own.

The OBCD driver is not free . You have to pay for that-> Download ODBC Client | Elastic,

but you can ask for a licence trial  (30 days) on Kibana managament tab.  

Please follow carefully the following instruction 

Configuration | Elasticsearch Guide [8.5] | Elastic

ps: I discovered that using elasticSearch API are much better to query on data and free.
