Hi All,

I have created an index pattern in kibana , 'nlevel\_report\*'. This index fetches all the data related relevant to this index pattern.

So long, I was able to view the data for all the months. Somehow, I am unable to view data for the month of June.

Has anyone faced the same problem? Any pointers on how to get his issue resolved?

Regards,  
Sujata

Do you have a separate index for June? The `*` at the end of your index pattern is a wildcard that should match any indices that start with `nlevel_report` such as `nlevel_report_201906`, `nlevel_report_201905`, etc.

You might also check that the mapping for your indices are correct. [Index templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html) are useful for creating new indexes with identical or similar mappings.
