How do you debug your Nest queries?

Question

I\'m new to Nest, and I very likely am not creating my query like I think I am. My question is more along the lines of teach a man to fish rather than give me a fish. However,

Answer 1

Elasticsearch.Net and NEST: the .NET clients [7.x]

ref: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/debug-information.html`

1. Enable DisableDirectStreaming in ES Global setting like following.

ref code

Var connectionPool = new SingleNodeConnectionPool(new Uri("http://localhost:9200"));

var settings = new ConnectionSettings(connectionPool)
    .DisableDirectStreaming(true); 

var client = new ElasticClient(settings);

2.) var response = client.Search(s =>....)

3.)

var jsonOutput = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(
            result.ApiCall.RequestBodyInBytes);

Above can be achieved on a per request basis with following.

var response = client.Search(s => s
    .RequestConfiguration(r => r
        .DisableDirectStreaming() 
    )
    .Query(q => q
        .MatchAll()
    )
);
