Hi,

I followed [Loading Sample Data](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html) Link to load the sample data in my ELK Stack and the data is loaded in the stack with indices but when I follow the new steps shown on the [Defining Your Index Patterns](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html) link, and I go the **Management \>\> Index Patterns tab** I can't see the data that I just loaded.

I am able to see the data in the indices and the count in monitoring tool, here is the SS

Below is the details of the data:

Hi,

From the screenshot I see that you have logged in as user `kibana` . Does this user have access/required privileges to see to the index you created?  
From the cURL request, I see that you are cURLing as elastic user and hence seeing all the indices. What happens when you cURL as kibana user ? Which version is this ?

Cheers  
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,

Thanks for writing.

How do I check (and add if necessary) the access/required privilages to see the index?

I tried logging in using the **elastic** user but it shows, signed in as **Kibana** and I still can't see the indices.

What am I doing wrong here?

I have added new user using following curl call, still I cant see the indices for getting the data.

curl -XPOST -u elastic 'localhost:9200/\_xpack/security/user/ingestadmin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{  
"password" : "tudip123",  
"full\_name" : "Ingest Admin",  
"email" : "ingest.admin@tudip.nl",  
"roles" : ["ingest\_admin"]  
}'
