You run this query but get no results:
GET /metrics/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "@timestamp": {
        "gte": "now-10m",
        "lt": "now"
      }
    }
  }
}

What is the most likely cause?
AThe range query syntax is incorrect
BThe query should use POST instead of GET
CThe '@timestamp' field is missing in documents
DThe index 'metrics' does not exist or has no recent data
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check query syntax correctness

    The range query syntax is valid and uses correct operators.
  2. Step 2: Consider data availability

    No results usually mean no matching data in the time range or index missing.
  3. Final Answer:

    The index 'metrics' does not exist or has no recent data -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    No results = Missing data or index [OK]
Quick Trick: No results often mean no data, not syntax error [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming syntax error in range query
  • Thinking GET cannot be used for search
  • Ignoring possibility of missing data
