Hi, In previous Kibana, I could point it to an index pattern in my elasticsearch easily. In 7.5.2 I cannot do this? I have an index I created in elastic. I can see it in Kibana. I want to create an index pattern using that index. Kibana does not let me. I enable "Include System indicies" but I cannot enter my elasticsearch index. I want to create visualization for data in my elasticsearch index like previous Kibana. I do not want to ingest logs from anywhere. thanks! ---

Does it have any documents? I don't think you can create an index pattern over an empty index. ---
