Hi Experts,

I want to create a dashboard using two different Data stream index {as mentioned below under notes}. when I checked the available options to do so , I read about \_aliases option; however in my use-case that is not possible/working.

kindly assist.

Note:

POST \_aliases  
{  
"actions": [  
{  
"add": {"index": "logs-\*","alias": "join\_logs\_demo" }  
},  
{  
"add": {"index": "custome\_logs","alias": "join\_logs\_demo" }  
}  
]  
}

Data stream index pattern is logs-\*  
Data stream index custome\_logs with alias as "is\_write\_index" : true

You cannot add data streams to an index alias.  
here is [Official documents](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.10/indices-add-alias.html#add-alias-api-path-params) explain

but you can use index pattern to match one or more data streams, indices, or index aliases.  
such as
