Elasticsearch cross-cluster search

The Elasticsearch data source plugin now offers support for Elasticsearch’s Cross-cluster Search feature.

If you’re a big Elasticsearch user, you might have multiple clusters set up for geographical separation, different teams or departments, compliance, or scaling reasons. Previously, you needed to set up a separate data source in Grafana for each cluster. Now with cross-cluster search, you can query data across all these clusters from a single Grafana data source. This makes it simpler and more convenient to query all of your Elasticsearch logs. You can learn more about this feature in the Elasticsearch docs.

To use this, it must be enabled in Elasticsearch (docs) and enabled in Grafana with the elasticsearchCrossClusterSearch feature toggle.
