I was wondering if it is possible to use a different, more intuitive/human-readable, display name for index patterns in Discover rather than the actual pattern? My reason is that some index patterns are ugly and I'd it to be easier for my end users to find the data they are looking for.

What about using data streams ?
With customised names, changing mostly the dataset and namespace.
