Hello, hope you're doing well. When I try to create a data view in the Discover section of Kibana 8, I encounter the following error message for any index pattern I write in the index pattern field: "Name must match one or more data streams, indices, or index aliases." I even tried entering "_._" and "netflow-\*", but still face the same error. How can I resolve this issue? ---

Do you actually have any indices or data streams? Go To stack Management -\> Data Views - Create Data View What do you see? ![Screenshot 2023-07-29 at 4.13.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/5/555affc7da9146a823d3691dc4f848c2acd6a185.png) ---

I am not sure what you expect that index pattern value needs to match something on the right list of datastreams / indices not just random text. Try `logs-*` You can name it what you want but the index pattern needs to match datastreams are indices that already exist. ---
