Create and import kibana visualization using API

[ilhem]

1. I created a kibana visualization using kibana interface and i tried to import it via Postman
   GET http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualization/test1
   but i get this response
   {
   "_index": ".kibana_1",
   "_type": "visualization",
   "_id": "test1",
   "found": false
   }

2. I want to know how can I create an index patern and a kibana vizualisation using API.

dex patern and

If I understand correctly, you want to create an Index Pattern for Kibana. An index pattern can include a wildcard to match multiple index names in Elasticsearch.

Here is an example from the reference to create an index pattern using the REST API. . In the example, the my-pattern-* index pattern in Kibana will match Elasticsearch indexes named my-pattern-0 , my-pattern-1 , my-pattern-2 , etc.

You can also watch the API calls in your browser's developer tools as you save a visualization to see how the payload gets sent.

Importing them would be via saved objects API

thanks for your reply,
in fact, I want to analyze the log file and generate a visualization for them. I did that manually, I mean I sent the logs via logstash and generate a curve from the data, but now I want to do it all programmatically, so I thought about API.
