Is there a way to point Graph to multiple indexes simultaneously or to an index alias created in elasticsearch? If so, what version provides this? ---

As of version 5 the Graph UI works with Kibana "Index Patterns" rather than a single physical index. Index patterns can represent more than one index or alias. ---
