Hi,

So I setup ELK on a single server and I try to send telemetry to him,  
what I did is create index template and pipeline,

Now, I try to create index pattern, But I cannot create one  
all I have from the list is one option "kibana\_sample\_data\_logs"  
I use kibana+elastic+logstash 8.2.0

thanks

Welcome to our community! 😃

What is the output from the `_cat/indices?v` API in Elasticsearch?

So it might be worth starting from the beginning and checking what your ingestion process looks like.
