Log request/response from ElasticSearch Transport client with SpringBoot application

Question

I'm using ElasticSearch's Transport Client in my SpringBoot application. Logback is used as my logging implementation.

Is there a way to enable logging of request/response from ElasticSearch Transport client to help in troubleshooting?

Answer 1

For logging the request to Elastic Search doing a toString on SearchRequestBuilder should give you the actual JSON request. For logging the response doing a toString on SearchResponse should give you the actual JSON response.
