How to create index pattern(data view) for all indices

[Sandeep_Raju (Sandy)]

Hi all,

I'm using Kibana 8.6.2. I had added indices some time back and don't want to delete or modify them.

I have about 70 indices with different names:

eg:

1. locations
2. roles
3. tasks
4. stats
5. tickets
6. stats

These were created some time back by my friend without a common prefix phrase.

Now is there any way to combine these indices into 1 index pattern and retrieve common field data ?

I tried combining indices with * index pattern, but it was not possible.

Any ideas?

Since you cannot use a single * as the index pattern, you will need to create multiple index patterns that match all your index.

Probably having every letter followed by a * will solve your issue.

Something like this:

a*,b*,c*,...,z*

Pretty ugly, but it is a work around for this limitation.
