Hi,

I've set a new environment :

1- Installed Elasticsearch -server  
2- Installed Kibana - server  
3- Installed filebeats on client + system module

When logging to kibana to check the logs, I can see that the index pattern is automatically created but when getting to Discover page it asks me to create an index patter.

If tried to create a filebeat index pattern it tells that it is already created.

Here is the list of indecies:

Any idea please?

Regards,

Sorry, this was a cached page, Incognito mode solved the issue.
