Dear all,

I do not know how to link my elastic search to the index pattern in Kinbana;

I have elastic search running with two index items;

this is the error message am getting:

null is not an object (evaluating 'index.timeField.name  
[http://index.timefield.name/](http://index.timefield.name/)')
