Hi Team,

I wanted to plot a data in a table and need to pick up a fields from different indices. Can that be possible with Kibana? If not then any other alternatives you can think of?

yes, you can use [lens](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lens.html) to create visualizations from multiple indices.

I already tried that but it does not allow me to add data from another indices? Am I doing anything wrong? or do I need to add any other layer?

Ok - Seems it needs basic license and not available without security?
