HI Kibana Team,  
I am getting error while creating the beat (filebeat) index from the Kibana console.  
filebeat-\*

Error: Your index pattern doesn't match any indices, but you have **8 indices** which look similar.  
How can i fixed that.  
Please the attached screenshot of my indices,

That message is trying to help, and the output is too. You don't have any indices with the prefix `filebeat`. You have `metricbeat` and `heartbeat` indices, but no filebeat. Are you sure you're actually indexing data from filebeat? Also, check your filebeat config, perhaps it's writing to another index.
