I have several indices, they all look like this:

systemname-envname.uniqueid.timestamp

In kibana I've played around and created several index patterns, some like this:

[systemname-envname.id](http://systemname-envname.id).\*

and some like this

[systemname-envname.id](http://systemname-envname.id)\*

When I query the .kibana index it does not return the index patterns that end ".\*"

I'm using sense and this is my query:

GET .kibana/\_search?type=index-pattern  
{  
"fields": []  
}

the response "hits" total is always correct, but the "hits" array does not include those index-patterns ending "._", so for example :  
"hits": {  
"total": 14, \<-- correct  
"max\_score": 1,  
"hits": [  
{ ... } \<--- only 10 elements in here , everything except those ending ._

You need to increase the `size` value in the query - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/search-request-from-size.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/search-request-from-size.html)

Great thank you Mark, this was the issue - just a red herring that the the patterns missing were all the same structure.
