Hello,  
I have enrolled the practice exam and I was unable to find anything matching the index pattern apachelogs\*.

Also, user-messages does not have any data in it. So I can’t do any of the tasks.  
Is there any way to continue here? I found a similar post here:

Hello @meniwa ,

After accessing Kibana you should be able to find the indices `apachelogs*` and `user_messages`

You might need to wait a couple of minutes so that the data is ingested properly.

If you still don't have any data by that time, send me a private message with your email address and I'll replace your environement
