Hello,
My environment at work is Chef, Elasticsearch and Kibana 3.
I have a situation whereby the default index pattern is [logstash-]YYYY.MM.DD. However I've created a new index pattern named [application-log-]YYYY.MM.DD and want my Kibana3 to use this as the default index pattern.
However when I set this up in Kibana3 (Configure dashboard > index > index settings > and put in the new pattern index pattern, [application-log-]YYYY.MM.DD
), everytime a chef run occurs, this gets overwritten and it is now set back to [logstash-]YYYY.MM.DD.
Where do I set this up to ensure that the new index pattern pattern is used as the default for my Kibana 3 dashboard so that it doesn't get overwritten?
BTW, the new index pattern exists in Elasticsearch and works so I do have indices being created using it.
Thanks
