## ElasticsearchDataQuery
#### Maturity: [experimental](../../../maturity/#experimental)
#### Version: 0.0
It extends [DataQuery](#dataquery).
| Property | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|--------------|-------------------------------------------|----------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `refId` | string | **Yes** | | *(Inherited from [DataQuery](#dataquery))*
A unique identifier for the query within the list of targets.
In server side expressions, the refId is used as a variable name to identify results.
By default, the UI will assign A->Z; however setting meaningful names may be useful. |
| `alias` | string | No | | Alias pattern |
| `bucketAggs` | [BucketAggregation](#bucketaggregation)[] | No | | List of bucket aggregations |
| `datasource` | | No | | *(Inherited from [DataQuery](#dataquery))*
For mixed data sources the selected datasource is on the query level.
For non mixed scenarios this is undefined.
TODO find a better way to do this ^ that's friendly to schema
TODO this shouldn't be unknown but DataSourceRef | null |
| `hide` | boolean | No | | *(Inherited from [DataQuery](#dataquery))*
true if query is disabled (ie should not be returned to the dashboard)
Note this does not always imply that the query should not be executed since
the results from a hidden query may be used as the input to other queries (SSE etc) |
| `metrics` | [MetricAggregation](#metricaggregation)[] | No | | List of metric aggregations |
| `queryType` | string | No | | *(Inherited from [DataQuery](#dataquery))*
Specify the query flavor
TODO make this required and give it a default |
| `query` | string | No | | Lucene query |
| `timeField` | string | No | | Name of time field |
