Hi,  
I have used cross-clustering in order to display data from multiple Elasticsearch instances on one Kibana. The indices thus formed are of the type `<cluster-names>:<pattern>`. I wish to create only one index pattern for a particular pattern. For instance, all indices of the form `cluster_one:pattern-*` or `cluster_two:pattern-*` should be under one index pattern. Is this possible?

P.S.- The solution given in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.2/management-cross-cluster-search.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.2/management-cross-cluster-search.html) says that `cluster_one:pattern-*,cluster_two:pattern-*` should work. However, this does not seem to be working. Also, cluster\_one is the local cluster and cluster\_two is a remote cluster.

Thanks 🐅

Looks like that's a bug in our docs. It is supported in 6.3+, but not 6.2.

See [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19705](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19705).

Thanks @lukas  
Is there an alternate way to solve this issue on 6.2?
