Add fields in an existing Kibana Index Pattern

[Baptiste_Orsoni]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it's possible to add new fields to an existing index pattern in Kibana.

I've had new parameters to existings logs recently but they haven't been ingested well (sort of ?) because they are not visualizable and there is a question mark next to the field name :

And indeed, I can't see them when I check in my index pattern under Management.

Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Did you try refreshing the pattern under management?

Hello @warkolm,

Thanks for your answer.

Well, I feel a bit silly because I didn't try to refresh it and indeed it works !

And just out of curiosity would it be possible to alter an existing Kibana index pattern, by adding a field for example ?

Thanks !

Yes, just make sure you refresh it
