Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is possible to visualize data of 2 differently named indices in a single index pattern.

For example , i have a1 index and b1 index.  
I have a\* index pattern.  
Is it possible to give alias for b1 index as a2 and try to visualize in a\* pattern.

If not, any turnaround to visualize 2 differently named indices in same index pattern.

You can try it, but unless the field names are similar you will struggle to make anything logical in your dashboards.
