Hi
I need to get list of all kibana index patterns that we use to mapping indices with them.
\_cat/indices just back all the indexes and not the mapping patterns that we create in kibana managment.
thanks

Kibana has an API to access the persisted data: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-find.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-find.html)
The first example uses `index-pattern`: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-find.html#\_examples\_2](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-find.html#_examples_2)
