Hey here, I am a kibana end-user and I never use code. I have indices available that I can manage to create index pattern then smart data discovery, viz and dashboard.
My question is how I can find the date when the indices have been created in Kibana UI? I have the same question for index-patterns...
Thanks for your help

Hi there,
if you're just interested in the index creation date you can find it in Dev Tools section typing
`GET _cat/indices/your_index?h=creation.date,index&v`
