Hi there,
I am setting up Elk stack on a eks cluster using helm charts.
In regards to the helm chart and in general. What configuration elements should be enabled to allow me to set **data views** with a simple **api call**?
I am struggling to find info I am sure it a simple answer which i am missing.
Help is much apricated.

Have you checked the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/data-views-api-create.html) for the Create data view API?
The following request would create a data view:
```auto
$ curl -X POST kibana-host:port/api/data_views/data_view
{
"data_view": {
"title": "indexname-*",
"name": "dataview name"
}
}
```

Thanks so much, I was able to make it work with the api key but actually I need to find a way to generate api key automatically when setting up the stack with helm,
