I have created a dashboard in kibana for monitoring, and I want to create an index\_pattern already exist in elasticsearch with name (idx-traces). I did the following request curl:  
curl -X POST host:port/api/index\_patterns/index\_pattern -d '{"override":false, "refresh\_fields":false, "index\_pattern":{"title": "idx-traces"}}'

I got {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}.

Hi, it looks like that version doesn't provide REST APIs for managing index patterns. See the documentation on the APIs for your version at: [Using the APIs | Kibana Guide [7.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/using-api.html)
