Hello,
I am building a Kibana (6.2.4) application and I need to get list of **index pattern** which I've created (like the Discover).
How can I do that ?
Regards ^^

Hello,
You could use the following rest end point `http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v` This will list all the indices present in Elasticsearch.
When I issued this command I got something like this:
```auto

Thanks @rashmi ๐
I need list of **index pattern** , not the list of index.
Actually, I got my target (just for few minutes ๐
) !
This is my **server.js** :
```
client.search({
index: ".kibana"
}, function (err,response) {
reply(response);
});
```
And in the app.js, I trait the response and get the list of hits where **\_source.type="index-pattern"**.
But this is working only if the index **_.kibana_** contains the list of index pattern created.
**Is there another way ?** Because I've a kibana docker where my app is running but I can't find any index with type **_index-pattern_** (I hope you understood me ๐
)
My **Kibana container:**
I already have a list of index pattern:
But in the **_.kibana index_** , I can't find any index-pattern ๐คจ
Any explanation ?
